My director just called - she couldn't find her online confirmation of our hotel reservation - so she called the Travel Co. to confirm....and THEY HAVE NO RECORD OF HER RESERVATION!!!

She called hoping she had copied me on the reservation - but I don't have anything either!

What are we going to do now! I don't panic easily - but now - I"M PANICKED!!!

We ARE (here's hoping!) at the Chicago Hilton - she made the reservation the very first day that it was available - and we registered for a 2 bed/2 bath room.

I am just sick! And she is even more sick!

Becky - I'm really disappointed with Travel Planners. I was booked for the Chicago Hilton and on a waiting list for the Sheraton. An e-mail came to see if we wanted the Palmer House Hilton. I called to confirm the switch and stay on the waiting list for the Hilton. 3-4 weeks later when I called to add Terra to our room, I was still listed for the Chicago Hilton and not anywhere on the Sheraton waiting list.

They added me, but I'm afraid we were pushed way down on the list since it was 3-4 weeks later.

Get a hold of your credit card records - perhaps a reservation fee has been put on the cards - some companies, like Expedia, take payment up front. Perhaps its on your cards.

Good Luck!

That is exactly why Jen called to confirm our reservation! Last yr we had problems, and Betsy Broene (our SD), even with printed copies in hand, has had problems with her reservations! So Jen, because she deleted the online confirmation by mistake (she thinks this is what happened) called JUST TO MAKE SURE......I could just cry!

I hate travel planners they screwed up my reservations twice!!
they are hard to work with and not very customer service friendly.

What wave are you?
My director sent an email out today saying Roommates needed.
Two people at the Hilton with Wave 1

Edited because...
Oh I just realized ...this is a wave 1 thread...!!

I'm working on it! I left v-m messages for two people - I have to leave until 9:00 pm (central) or so, but I'll get back to you. If you want to PM me your phone number, I can check my messages during the evening and call you if I hear anything...
ChefBeckyD
06-26-2007, 05:26 PM
Okay - here is the deal - We are down to 3 people going - my director just called again and told me that one girl cancelled last night - so we just need to find room for 3, and if it's room for 2, Jen (my director) says she can sleep on the floor or rent a rollaway.

Diane - I'm getting ready to PM you my # right now!

Becky, as of right this minute, my cluster has 5 going, but 2 4-person rooms. I can check with the rest of the gang to see if they would mind sharing with your cluster. (We're at the Hilton.)

I'm keeping my director informed by phone of all the "developments"...she is enroute to a show tonight....and both of us are leaving for vacation tomorrow - so that may be why we are feeling a bit panicky!

06-26-2007, 06:34 PM
I've got room for one, if needed! Wow, that's scary. I know I got the email confirmation, but it still scares me that this might happen. Maybe I should confirm!!!

Last Leadership, my Director had problems with Travel Planners loosing her reservation. Very frustrating...Good luck and keep up informed!

Thanks everyone for offering rooms & support! My director has never been on CS - but she sure is loving you guys right now!:D

We're not to that point yet - I'm sure that will come later.....right now it's still just PANIC!
ChefBeckyD
06-26-2007, 07:18 PM
But on a happy note - (and I'm about to hijack my own PANIC thread!) I just checked my email, and had an "Online Activity" email from HO w/ an individual order of $178.00!!!
chefann

Awesome!
I'm going to get on the horn to my cluster and check on the rooms. Are you all non-smokers, Becky?

Yes - we are all non-smokers......hmmmm, never thought about that!

Becky - call Yvonne Mattson - I can get you her number or have your director call her, she has some openings still.
janetupnorth
06-26-2007, 07:55 PM
Just read all your above stuff...let me know though, you guys are in her downline and her e-mail today said she still has openings so consider the above offers or let me know!

Becky - I just checked my CC statement and I got charge for 1 night for the reservation on 6/21.
ChefBeckyD
06-26-2007, 08:06 PM
Thanks Janet! Jen is searching from the Yvonne end.....she sent an email to Betsy and Sherri both also. She is in the middle of a show right now, but I'll call her later and tell her to check her CC statement!

I also found out from her that when she registered - she couldn't get it to work right online, so she ended up calling and finishing the registration by phone!
janetupnorth
06-26-2007, 08:13 PM
Is that Sherri Klassen?
Hopefully you'll get it settled.

I had originally gotten on the waiting list and transferred by phone and even had the representative's name I talk to and it still disappeared...

I hope these cases are few and far between!

If you need anything later tonight, just yell - I'll be back on CS in a bit. Going offline and trying to call and get a catalog show closed! :)
chefann
06-26-2007, 08:17 PM
Becky- I spoke to 2 ladies in my cluster and left messages for the other 2. As of right now, we're OK with you ladies joining us. But one of the messages I left was for my Director (can't imagine her saying no, though). Any luck with your upline?
chefann
06-26-2007, 09:27 PM
Never mind- I just got off the phone with you. :)

Have a great vacation and don't worry about it!

you mean "Bwoop bwoop bwoop bwoop"?


Now she's saying, "Soup!" which is short for Superbird!
ChefBeckyD
06-26-2007, 09:32 PM
Sooo, it looks like Ann and I may be room-mates! How much fun will that be?

And Ann, it's totally funny that we both had to check CS as soon as we got off the phone!:D

Becky,

Are you for sure staying with Ann, then? I just got an e-mail from one of the two, and she said their room was let go, but she knows someone else who may have one. Just let me know if you'd like me to continue checking.

Thanks!
chefann

I haven't heard from 2 of the women in my cluster yet. But I think we're confirmed that Becky and her group will be taking our extra space. The 2 I haven't spoken to yet shouldn't have a problem with it because I'll be the "odd one" (on so many levels) sharing with Becky - the other 4 under my director can all share our second room. And since both rooms are full now, it will reduce our costs all around.
chefann
06-27-2007, 07:17 AM
I just got a note from one of the ladies in my cluster I hadn't reached last night, and apparently our SD arranged things in the extended cluster so that we don't have any extra room. Poop! (Not that those ladies now have rooms, but that Becky and her gals are out in the cold again.)

Becky- I know you're leaving today. What do you want me to do to help you? I feel terrible that we thought we had this wrapped up and now it's all unraveled again.
ChefBeckyD
06-27-2007, 07:31 AM
It's okay Ann (Just got off the phone w/ you!)

I emailed Jen back - Sherri Klassen (our SD) thinks she may have a room too - her words - "Not to worry, we will work it out".........
I'm in vacation mode now, so no worries here!;)

You are right about Sherri Klassen. She may have a few spots. She is my directors director. I almost roomed with her last year (if I had gone to NC). We are full with 4 otherwise you would be welcome to join us!
janetupnorth
06-27-2007, 09:32 AM
Hey Paulette - so you're in my extended cluster too - yeah!!!! (I'm in Yvonne's 1st line so I see Sherri's name but never see the others downline from us...)

Cool!

I'll meet you next year at Conference since I changed waves this year! (Planning ahead already...)

Kinda cool hugh? Conf next year for me will depend on when it falls. Hubby works Fri, Sat & Sun. No grandmas close by to help. Also Hubby takes off a weekend in August so I can work the fair. I will be happy when the kids are a bit older and it's easier to send them to a friends house.

(although I am doing my best to enjoy them being little! They grow too fast!)
