Work related!

I was in Denver attending the National Immigrant Integration conference for 3 days. It was very educational and a great opportunity to meet some great people. As many of you already know, my work deals more with refugees and it's very challenging but it's very rewarding at the same time.
If you are interested in seeing the good things happening at the Hser Ner Moo Community & Welcome Center, go here.

AVOID TRAVELOCITY!

I booked a flight to Denver from SLC on travelocity on June 4. The flight was booked for June 24 - 26, 2009. I leave on Wed am and back on Fri evening. I have booked many flights through Travelocity in the past and I never print the reservation confirmation from the website. I just wait for their email confirmation and access my itinerary from there.
They did send me a confirmation email but it was blank so I couldn't access my itinerary. I finally checked my travelocity account yesterday and clicked on my stuff. To my BIG SURPRISE, my flight is booked for Jan 24-26, 2010, it is on a Sunday to Tuesday. How could this happen? I am 100% certain that I booked my flight on Jun 24 - 26, 2009.
I called travelocity and guess what? I was put on hold for so many times and every person I spoke to seemed to be somewhere in India. They kept pushing me to pay a penalty fee of $180 if I want to make any change to my flight. I asked to speak to a supervisor and I was put back to India. By the way, I bought a travel protection plan with my flight but I guess it doesn't cover a change of flight. It only covers death, disaster, blah, blah, blah!
Common sense, why would I book a flight to Denver like 7 months away. Also, I booked it with another co-worker. We chose the correct date (June 24 - 26, 2009). This is so ridiculous!
I hate TRAVELOCITY! this is the last time I ever deal with them. Never and never again!
I guess I will travel to Denver in January 2010 :-)
I googled this kind of issue and I found so many similar complaints. Go here to read them.

Bonne Fete Maman!

Our mother's day is different from the US. Today (according to the time zone over there) is our mothers'day. I wish my mom a happy one, full of prosperity and good health. There is no word to describe her quality as a mother. She has taught me a lot and I love her and I miss her!
Below is a picture from our trip to San Francisco when she came to visit me 2 and half years ago.

Gros bisous Mama!
