Travel(ocity) Gripe of the Day  

Posted by Benjie in , , ,




I usually use Orbitz when making travel arrangements that require flying. But this time I found a better deal that fit my needs at Travelocity. The flight was great, but when we landed I discovered that my hotel was not the one I thought, but one 45 miles from where my meeting was to be held. Calling the "right" hotel, I discovered that they had a room for the first night we'd be in NC, but were fully booked the other two nights. I was able to get a room in another hotel--another chain--near the conference, so I canceled the first. All the money I saved, is probably gone and then some because of the change.

My gripe? I saw nothing on the paperwork from Travelocity that indicated they had booked me in a hotel 45 miles from my destination city. It will be a long time before I use them again.

Fun for Me  

Posted by Benjie in , ,


I’m getting ready to go on a trip. One of my church members and I will be attending the IMB Volunteer Summit Central & Eastern Europe in Apex, North Carolina. Our hope is that this two-day event will help us determine some ways that our little Midwestern church can get involved in partnering with on-going mission work on the other side of the world. This is a double good trip for me because I’ll get to visit for a minute or two with some of my former colleagues from the mission field.

Ya’ll have a good time while I’m gone now, ya’ hear. (The summit will be at Salem Baptist Church--click on the logo to see their site.)
