Made a huge mistake I am feeling so stressed out right now. My boyfriend and I are leaving on a trip to Europe soon, and we had everything set. Our hotels, flights, etc have been booked for months. He called tonight to confirm our hotel reservations, and it turns out we booked a hotel in Dublin for FEBRUARY instead of JUNE. It was right there on the paper too.. the numbers were right but the month was wrong and we overlooked it so many times. Oh my gosh. We are out hundreds of dollars. I won't sleep tonight, I'm just crying and we feel so defeated. We're scrambling to find a new place to stay now. Ugh. How could we mess that up?! I just feel sick over it and need to let it out. I can't believe it. |
Oh No ! They should have called in Feb when you didn't show up. Isn't that why they take your number ? |
Were the month and day switched? I know a lot of other countries do day first, then month. Sorry, stuff happens, look on the bright side, at least you are going to Europe! :D |
The hotels cannot re-book your trip for the dates you want? I'm so sorry this happened, and I'm sure it's horribly stressful trying to book things at the last minute. At the same time though, it's just money. :) I think you will have a wonderful trip, and hopefully this last minute scramble will become a funny detail in the "Greatest Trip, Ever" story you tell. |

We are still going to Europe, but with a lot less funds than we thought :( We were strapped for cash to begin with because we thought it would be easy to sell our two motorcycles, but nobody is interested. So we're doing it without selling them! Ugh. I'm just kind of mad at the world right now, but most of all ourselves. I don't know how we could have messed up that badly! |
Seriously, this kind of stuff happens to everyone every so often. Don't beat yourself up. Some time when you come back from your awesome Europe trip, remind me to tell you about all the capital D, Dumb travel mistakes I've made. |

We tried Priceline again tonight and my first option gave me a counter offer of almost double what we paid to begin with. I said no and tried other options, but didn't get anything. Now I have to wait another 24 hours, and hope somebody else doesn't snatch up that room before I do! I will bite the bullet and pay double.. it's still a lot less than full price, so I can't complain about that. I guess I'm just more upset at ourselves than anything. We're so careful about these things, and Scott has reread the booking over and over since we booked it and still didn't catch that. Neither did I. |

Honestly, my standards aren't really that high! I feel like I might be coming off as high maintenance. I can stay in crappy places but I just really would like a private room if I were to stay in a crappy place lol. I know I am going to Europe, I need to just remind myself that we'll see so much this won't even matter. I've dreamed of this trip my whole life! I just wish it were going a little more smoothly. |
I totally get it. I stayed in hostels when I was a college kid. Now that I'm a spinster, I want nice hotels, dagnabbit! I am almost positive I booked a non-refundable flight to Hawaii for the wrong date a few years back. It worked out fine. HOW it worked out is a muddle of horror, but I definitely was in Hawaii a few weeks later, so something got resolved. It's so stressful once you actually commit to putting money down, taking time off, and there are so many details to attend to. My specialty is going to the wrong airport on the return flights. You will find a way to make this work. |
have you tried a bed and breakfast options rather then a hotel some of these places are really nice |
Oh no, what a bummer. Is your whole trip in Dublin, or is that only part of the stay? Hope something works out. |
Oh Linz, that does really really stink!!! I know it's such a bummer and I would be upset too. I'm sure you'll find a new hotel no doubt and although losing hundreds of $$ really does stink cuz it's SUCH a waste of money, BUT in the long run it won't ruin you financially. Enjoy your trip girl! You REALLY deserve this!!! :) |
