Off to the world championship surfboard contest.

I booked a reservation for a car through travelocity. The car company did not pick me up at the airport last night and they don’t answer their phone this morning. I am on the skype phone with Travelocity. Every now and then the audio gets interrupted with the unmistakable sound of a circular saw cutting wood, very strange.

Nice phone call. Travelocity said the company does not answer their phone and they asked if I could hang around here for 5 or 6 hours while they try to contact the car company. No, not really, thank you. So I have ebooked through another company for about twice the rate I had reserved. Travelocity said their price guarantee does not apply if I rent from a different company. As it is impossible to get the car I reserved I assert that the travelocity price guarantee is worthless.

Why don’t you don’t you drop them a line travelocity@travelocity.comand reference this blog and trip id 4921 0582 9653 and tell them how valuable their service is.

Does anybody know how to get a teenager out of bed?

We made it Puntarenas, tomorrow we go to Jaco to catch a day of the world surfboarding championship.
