Hi Deb, Josie, Joan, and Cathy--
This morning I did the High Step Training again (63 min.).
If I understand my son correctly, when he called the resort to discuss their wedding plans and asked for a manager who had taken their reservations, the manager was no longer there. They had no record of any reservations and the person he spoke to could barely speak English. They would have had to start all over if they still wanted to go there for a wedding, and with this big move coming up, they decided to opt out entirely until May or June of 2010. This pleases me because then my husband will be able to go--it's his least busy time. I thought the Thailand idea was crazy to begin with because I feared political unrest would close the Bangkok airport as it had before. I expected some kind of disaster and was planning to buy travel insurance just in case. San Francisco sounds MUCH better.
Joan, it sounds like major drama before your son married. At least no money has been lost at this end. I managed to get back all of my miles used to buy the original tickets, and the taxes I paid were returned and that pretty much covered the expense of cancellation.
I made Philly cheese steaks and a really delicious and low calorie zucchini soup and we will be having them again tonight. Sounds like we will have a houseful this weekend with both sons and future dil, so I am making chicken fajitas in a lime-cilantro marinade with poblano peppers, yellow peppers, and red onions--all grilled. These are one of my sons' favorites. We may go out on Saturday night to celebrate my fil's 85th birthday.
Book recommendations: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and its sequel, The Girl Who Played with Fire, both by Stieg Larsson. Mystery-thriller lovers take note.
That's about all, folks!
