    Default So outraged

    I was supposed to leave tomorrow for st louis.
    A friend of mine is moving from michigan to texas. Seeing as I never have travelled off the east coast I was more than excited when she asked if I wanted to go on a road trip. I got a one way ticket to st louis and a one way ticket home from dallas.
    TODAY she calls to tell me she has the flu and may or may not make it into st louis by tomorrow and oh the by the way if she does, she told me id probly catch the flu.
    And if she decided to wait a few days to travel than I wont make my return flight home from dallas as we wont make it to dallas by saturday.
    I talked to her 3 days ago, she was fine. She said she had a little cold but assured me she was fine.
    I tried calling her last night she did not answer. I emailed her this morning and she called me back and dropped the bomb on me.
    The hotel in st louis was in ,my name(i would be arriving first) luckily i was able to call and cancel with no penalty
    But now I got 2 one way tickets I gotta deal with
    Ive never cancelled/change a flight before. I KNOW theres fees involved and im guessing theres not too much i can do.
    I looked into flights going to either st louis or dallas and was tihnking of taking a friend along if the plane tickets were reasonable but its just not possible.

    Just needed to vent,,, sorry.

    Why did you cancel? I'd have made the trip alone until your friend felt better, then she could join you where ever you happened to be along the way.

    Don't mess around with the flu this year. It is a bad one. I've had the flu twice in my life and I thought I was going to die both times. The last time I had it I coughed so often and so hard I cracked one of my ribs! This year, if I can't get the H1N1 vaccine before I catch the flu, I'll be running to the doctor for tamiflu in a heartbeat. Most people mistake a bad cold for the flu, but they feel totally different. Not only do people feel like they are going to die, many are dying this year, and they are between the ages of 15-25 usually. THAT in unusual.

    Seriously, would you prefer being in bed feeling like you are about to die for 3-4 weeks, or get your money back on your plane tickets?

    Did not cancel my plane tickets. Just my hotel to avoid a fee.
    And the way the trip was planned was one way ticket for me to st louis, than drive with her down to dallas. I already had my return flight booked for this saturday because she insisted she had to be there by a certain time..Plus i saved money booking my flights in advance obviously.

    If i still fly to st louis, i could hang out there till she felt well enough to join me.
    But i still have a return ticket home from dallas on saturday so it really doesnt make much sense to stroll around st louis and wait for someone who may or may not come.
    And then id need a return ticket home from there.
