Missionary POV: Pre-departure Highlight #2

I mentioned flights in my last post, and how we'd promptly lost all the credit card points the office was chipping in. And then I mentioned that there was a snag between the airport and the airline. Well it turns out that that snag saved the day! The flight booked on points hadn't been cancelled when I got a call at the office outlining the disconnect between the airline and the airport, and what the airline was prepared to do about it. There were options of changing to a different day (if only I could have had that option two weeks ago!), getting a connecting flight on the airline's dime, or...a full refund!

Welcome back all 65,000 points and the nearly $300 in taxes we had to pay! What a great phone call to get the day before I leave! I felt so bad about all those points -- a whole return trip to Europe no less -- just going to absolute waste! Phew!

Now I just gotta wrap a whole bunch of loose ends, and I'll be ready. That'll probably mean no sleep at all tonight, but what else is new?! Man, with all the screens I stare at, if people really did turn square-eyed, my whole head would be a very pointy cube.
