I feel like the last few weeks have just been so busy. I’m surprised I have any idea what is/has been going on.
So yesterday M went to play golf and I set out to try and make some headway on the bonus room. I managed to empty a few more boxes and I finally got the guest room in order. Sort of. I hung pictures and accessorized. There are still a few random things laying around, like a HUGE TV I can’t move, that need to find a home. That will have to happen this week since my dad is coming down on Sunday. He will spend the night so he can fly out for OK on Monday morning. Anyway, once I decided I was done, and Julio was at the point of exhaustion – he will follow M and I everywhere and that included up and down the stairs a million times – I received an email from our TA. We knew that we would probably have 2 guests that would not have roommates. Well apparently this is a BIG deal at Sandals and the TA let M’s dad know that it would have to be approved by the resort manager and the room rate would be about 150% MORE then our quoted rate. Umm, HELLO?!? M and I were not made aware of this and didn’t seem to think it would be an issue. I mean if 2 people want to pay for a 2 person room, who cares. Well the TA’s response was a bit snippy and I think that put everyone in a bad mood. She is on vacation for the week so M asked her to call us when she returns. Hopefully this will all get worked out.
I decided to go onto the Sandals website last night and see where in their Terms and Conditions it states singles can be charged more per room. Yes we know they are a couples resort, but when you are talking about someone’s Grandmother, come on. After looking through the T’s & C’s I was unable to find anything about this. Then a little “chat now” box came up. I clicked to chat and proceeded to ask the Sandals rep where this was stated. Of course she couldn’t tell me. Finally she pointed me to a blanket statement regarding special requests. I took to the knot boards this morning to see if anyone else had run into this problem. So far no one else seems to have run into this problem. So we will see.
I woke up at 4am this morning worrying about this. I know we will get it all worked out but the TA’s response kind of pissed me off. She has seemed nice to M and I so far and I’m a bit pissed she didn’t inform us of this first before responding back. Oh well.

Dear Verizon,
It has been over 3 WEEKS since I placed my order with you. If you could please find a phone and send it my way I would really appreciate it. Kthx!
