Reply #49: I want to go to my writing conference [View All]

[Missy Vixen]

It's the last week of July. The hotel it was originally in is part of the Grand Old Opry in Nashville; it flooded, and now the conference is in Orlando. EVERYTHING is more expensive.

This is what I need to go:

I have frequent flyer miles, but the airline in question doubled their FF requirements during the months of July and August. I am writing a letter to the president of the airline to ask if he will grant me a round-trip ticket at the original mileage requirement. (You don't get unless you ask...)

I need a roommate. The hotel's expensive. I need a friendly, easygoing, fun roommate.

I don't want to pay the registration fee until I have both of the above, because canceling after July 1 means I lose the entire amount.

Mostly, if it's not going to happen this time, let me be gracious and realize it just wasn't in the plans.

Thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers,
Julie
