    So, I won an auction, decent price, I'm all excited, get a friend to go...

    Here is what I get:
    We are sorry, but we are unable to confirm your travel submission as requested.

    The Reservations Agent has noted below the reason(s):
    Unfortunately at this time the dates you have requested are heavily booked and the airfare inventory required for this package is not available from Apr 14, through 18. Note that this package is valid for departures through December 07, 2011 and other dates may be possible, let us know how you wish to proceed.


    So, I sent in other dates (the 19th to 26th - just outside those dates), and got the EXACT same response., saying they couldn't do that week. Ridiculous.

    Piffle. Now I have to see what I can find because I want to go back.

    $1100 each on Skyauction - looking on the other sites I'm getting the cheapest of $1800 each. For $1800 I can have someone come in and finish all the shit I need to do to put my house up for sale, sell the damn house, and go 5 times next year.

    I saw that. But, I would actually get in trouble if I took Monday/Tuesday off. I was willing to do it through sky auction, because I could have blamed it on sky auction and not gotten in as much trouble.

    Can you not buy an all inclusive vacation in the US? When I booked our trip it was only $1002 for 7days, flight, hotel etc. flying out of Toronto. Good luck finding something!

    You can, but the cheapest I've found for that week is $1900 each.
    I found $1200 for Tues-Sat (like I did this past trip), but with all the crap for the house going on - If I pay $1200, I want to be there all week.

    It does look like the second trip is going to happen. But - once the house sells, I'll be out there a few times a year :flash:
