For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for August 09, 2011

It’s the ‘little’ ones that make you wish you’d stayed home!

Hope the trip home is better!

Did they get a round trip ticket – or can they change that situation for the trip hoome?

Yeah, suck it up, John. I think the whole family didn’t get a good night’s sleep. Get over it, you’ll get some rest now.

Allan V said, about 9 hours ago@exturk They didn’t go TO-Vancouver, in the 80’s when this was written, they lived in “Lynn Lake Manitoba” so it was only 48 to 52 hours

psychlady – in the 1980’s there wasn’t “super saver economy” tickets, just “First Class, Economy, Berth, Cabin”. FC/B/C can could change their tickets for free, Economy had to pay a horrendous fee to change it. However, upgrading from Berth to Cabin will be expensive – probably another $200-$400 for each ticket.

John will make sure the trip back to Toronto will be more comfortable…..at 35,000 feet!!!

…memorable maybe… hehe

Getting there is half the fun!

My error – Toronto was mentioned so often I assumed Toronto. I always travelled coach, but knew first class was available. Coach and first class used to be offered also on the airlines, but the last flight I made (Dec 2010) it was all sardine class!

I’m sure the rest of trip will be better now, handing kids over to Grandparents and scheduling for a nice massage for both of them! :)

At least if John ended up paying for “roomettes” instead of “rooms” the trip cost him a lot less than if Elly had made the correct reservation.

I feel your pain, John!!
