My gut reaction is that this guy is an idiot.

Just like anything else you do in life, double check everything and don’t trust anyone else to do the right thing.

I know of a guy that booked himself an Amtrak ticket to Las Vegas. Problem is that Amtrak serves Las Vegas, New Mexico, not Las Vegas, Nevada.

The airline charged him $5000 for two return tickets England-Spain and he didn’t say anything?

Even with first class, that’s obviously too much for a short flight.

If I were the judge, that lawsuit would be dismissed so fast his head would spin. If he didn’t check his tickets, too bad, his problem.

it was only when Gamson and his partner glanced at the electronic map

Partner? If he's gay, that makes his victimhood score jump much higher.

All things considered, there are worse places he could have ended up.

Grenada, is from little I’ve heard and seen, a beautiful Caribbean island.

Spelling ping!

I hope you receive this post with the humor I am trying to send with it.

It just fit our previous conversation too well not to share.

Cheers!

exactly... i have made plane reservations several times this past year, and i double check everything... even if i type in San Jose International Airport as my destination, i will sometimes be shown flights that land in San Francisco...

one of the first things i check before and after i make my reservation is the flight length of time... that right there should have told him that he was not going to Spain...

not too long ago i read an article about a silly girl who thought she was going to San Jose, Costa Rica--to learn the language... but she unknowingly landed in San Jose, California... was there for a good five days before she realized! she only found out because she posted pics on facebook, and a friend of hers told her she was in California and not Costa Rica!

i think she had posted a picture of herself at a San Jose Sharks hockey game... and she had been going on about how easily she could understand the people...

dumb!

This guy’s obviously an idiot. Now if you’ll excuse me, I am going to go outside and wash my Hyundai Accord so it’s all shiny for my date with actress Evan Longoria.

I've spent a lot of time in the Caribbean. The thing you never want to forget is that you are in a 3rd world, high-crime, area. The resorts and tourist spots are quite nice, everything else is generally a slum.

I made it absolutely clear to the booking agent I wanted to go to Granada in Spain.

The booking agent made the mistake, so ...
