DH has an event this weekend (surprise surprise) and I was going to take DD to NH for some mother daughter time. I hadn't gotten any reminders about the trip, so I checked Expedia.
I booked NEXT weekend. For a non-refundable room.
I called the hotel directly and they had rooms. They were able to cancel my old reservation (I don't know how, I must be living right) and book me a new room at a lower rate.
I have been talking this up with S for a week and she has been so good at school lately, this was going to be a special treat. I'm so glad I pulled this off.
