10. Sit in the airport for 6 hours watching you flight get delayed and delayed while your husband reminds you that this is why United gave you the free tickets in the first place.
9. Convince the gate agent to put you on a different flight so you could possibly get there before midnight.
8. Have your bags go to your original airport, 2 hours away from where you are. Scream at United for 48 hours because yours bags are 2 hours away and they can't seem to get them to you.
7. Spend $400 replacing items to be told by United that they will give you $80. Not a person, total.
6. Let it all go.
5. Workout, get a massage, drink a bloody Mary, in that order.
4. Watch Michael in the kids club show dressed up as a tiger yell, "Mommy, clap your hands."
3. Convince Doug we can stay an extra day.
2. Convince United to not charge you for changing the tickets.
1. Listening to Michael say, "no, I want to stay here" and realizing a more perfect vacation could not have been had. A place where I can spend time with my family and still have alone time with my husband, I am so on the club med bandwagon.
P.S. Sorry, I have very few pictures, because my camera was in the lost baggage. I will post the ones I have in a few days.
P.S.S. Also, I came home to 250 unread blog posts. I'll read them, I promise. But don't expect my superb level of commenting.

This is why I never ever ever will fly United again. They have done this to me too many times (including me stuck in Salt Lake with my luggage back at BWI because there weren’t enough seats for me but there was enough room for my luggage.) Stupid United.
Glad you had a good time on your trip though!

I am glad that you are back! My blog readings have not been complete, LOL!
I haven’t flown United since I saw my old neighbor, who was a pilot for them, brag about how he and all his friends knew how to “drink and fly”.

We were delayed 5 hours on the way to Maui, but they did give us $100 vouchers each for next flights.
And by the way – WHERE DID YOU GO ANYWAY???

Oh my goodness – I can’t believe that about the flights. Well, I can, but it’s HORRIBLE!
But it sounds like you guys ended up having a fantastic time, which is awesome!
Welcome back!

I haven’t touched my Google Reader in 6 days and I was over 600 posts to read. If everyone could just stop posting for a bit so I could catch up, that would be awesome!

Other than the flight… it sounds like you had an awesome time. We looked at going to a Beaches resort before booking our cruise. We’ll have to check out ClubMed (whenever we go on a trip like that again after the baby comes this summer!)

I’d be SO tempted to press “mark all as read.”
Good to have you back, though.
