I had a blast this year in Chicago and thought that this year's conference was all around better. I was so glad to meet the Cheffers I did. I still missed quite a few. Well we got soaked at Bubba Gumps last night, no biggie hitched a ride from Kisrae's bro and went back to the Sheraton.
Then today I had one of the worst days I have had in a long time! I went to make corrections to our bill @ the front desk, thought I got it taken care of and they started calling for one of my roomies. Well she had already left for the airport and was already on the plane. Well I went up and it turns out her debit card was declined and they knew this since Monday. Did they tell her or me no. So she said I would get charged the difference since the room was in my name. So I paid for it. 1st Drama
So we walked to the bus stop I pulled out my $2, we got on the bus and got off to take the L to O'Hare. When we got in the train station I realized my change purse was gone. So that means no cash (about $70), no credit cards (including what was left on my conference cash), and no ID's. Oh well I had a starbuck's card as well.
So long story short filed a police report, took the train to the airport w/ no idea if they would let me on the plane or not. I found a cop to see if she could help and she said that it was up to each individual airline whether or not they would let me on the plane. Well they did, but they had to search everything including me. So I am home, cancelled all my cards but came home to an extra charge on my card from the sheraton. So they charged me 3 times. Ugh another phone call to make.
Thank you all for listening I knew you would. Sorry it's so long.
