damn, i'm dumb.

so last year i organized a vacation to the beach with my sisters, dad and stepsister (and all respective families).

there was quite a bit of drama that surrounded and i swore i would never plan anything that large again.

well, this summer my sisters and i are going to split a condo with our families for a few days and there is now pressure on me to get there as early as they are planning to because the reservation was made in my name. and they want to get there by 2 and check in and get ready to have fun.

well, check in is at 4. and while we may be able to check in before, it isn't guaranteed. so its likely to end up a "hurry up and wait" situation. and i'm not into that kind of thing.

wtf was i thinking!?!

[mudslide]

You're not dumb. At all. Don't talk like that

[snipsnsnails]

Call and see if you can change the reservation into one of their names.

[sweetday]

If check in isnt guaranteed getting there at four is the smarter option.

nama, i did. my youngest sister (the one giving me the most trouble) is the one aggravating me the most. she texted back with "ok, but you're still getting there early to try right?"

GAH!

also, i can't designate anyone else to check in unless it is in writing. and it has to be mailed, not faxed. so thats not going to work.

why can't people just not be fucking assholes!?!

[Marle]

Is there a way to ask in advance? Where are you going?

My response would be- no, the check in is at 4 so that's what time I will be there. They want you to be there at 2 right? So if the condo place doesn't let you in early, you'll be hanging around for 2 hours?

shut.it.down.

Check in is this time, that is all.

[stephiehun]

Is it far enough away that you could tell them you'll be there at 2, but hit 2 hours worth of "traffic"?

i know.

i am not furthering any talk. we'll get there when we get there and i'm not going to feel bad about it.

they can entertain themselves for however long is necessary without me having to be there too.
