Flying is such a pain!

Listen to this:  today Kat and I were scheduled to fly from SEA to LAX and then onward to PPT.  However, when I was writing down our itinerary I noticed that we were scheduled to arrive at LAX at 1440 while our LAX/PPT flight out had changed to 1300.  What the hell!  If either Orbitz or Air Tahiti Nui had informed us that they had changed the flight time then we could have done something about it, but since we only found out this morning we couldn't get on an earlier flight to make the LAX/PPT connection.  And to frustrate us further, the next flight out with Air Tahiti is not until Thursday!  

So, after hours and hours on the phone with Orbitz we finally had to accept the later departure.  This means that we will have zero time in Tahiti and will have to go straight on to New Zealand.  This has really taught us what happens when you go with an internet company like Orbitz and run into a problem.  We had to go through three levels of managers before we could get someone who could even help us.  The first person we talked to actually recommended that we get on the flight to LA!!!  If we had listened to her we'd be stuck in LA until Thursday!!!

Now we're going to collapse into a sleep coma for a while.  Sorry superbowl!
