Its waiting at the gate for a half hour,, after deplaning, to figure out where where going.
Its waiting on the buses for 45 mins for an unknown reason.
Its the poor choice in hotel that doesn't allow children and being bused again to a sister hotel.
Its the putting a family of 4 in a suite with only two beds.
It was a disaster!
I'm just speechless.
Well, perhaps not totally speechless.
One point and one question:
The point:
A "disaster" would have been the plane losing both engines, crashing into the sea, and killing everyone aboard. A "disaster" is not having to wait while the airline found you free accommodation, or your kids having to share a bed.
The question:
What's the name of the hotel in Aruba that doesn't allow children? My wife and I would be interested in staying there.
