Another grizzle

[artme]

We ar coming back home in Jan./Feb. Don't know for how long. Things to attend to.

At the beginning of Jan. we leave on a cruise from Buenos Aires round Cape Horn to Valparaiso in Chile, then by car or bus to Santiago.

Our original return tickets to Oz. had us leaving from Rio but, the wife has to have Fragmin injections before each flight because of clotting problems. ( I know, I know! There is no bigger clot than my good self! ) We will already be in Santiago which is one of the stop-off overnight places on the return trip from Rio.

So, with this in mind we decided to cut two flights-and therefore two injections- and leave from Santiago and not Rio.

Guess what?? The bloody airline wants to penalize us to the tune of $1500 because we are not using the first leg!
Their reasoning is this: The return flight to Rio is cheaper than the return flight to Santiago, therefore you pay up. Well bugger me!! That is some logic!!

We bought the ticket in Australia and the travel agent is chasing it up for us on the grounds of medical reasons.

Looks like another case for Consumer Affairs.

Looks like the Foo bird is following you instead of me for a change.

Oh well! Have a stop off in Melbourne to make up for it. We'll have another turnfest. (One a month a bit too often? )

That is a good idea but I don't think Lan Chile would agree!

You people look like you are about to have a great time. Enjoy the event.

A very difficult philosophical question: can you everh ave too much of a good thing?
