The trip was great...
Nov. 5th, 2007 06:55 pmUntil terrorists stole our credit card number.
Yes, you read that right.
The beach was lovely. The food was awesome. The parents were happy to see us. We were happy to see them. They have frogs! And ospreys. And lots and lots and lots of birds. Sandpipers are teh cwoot OMG.
And then we tried to leave. And the gas tank thing at the Port Aransas airport declined our card. Which has a ridiculously high limit on it, and I paid it on time...so I called.
Yeah. Someone charged a $700 plane ticket on Jazeera Airways to our credit card. And $300 to Oman Aviation Services. And a couple of others on Air Arabia.
Fortunately, the credit card company caught it before it got completely out of hand and stuck a hold on the card...which we found out about when we tried to buy gas for the plane.
However, it's the only credit card we have. And it's not like we carry enough cash around to put gasoline in an airplane on a cross-country trip. So we wound up having to call them every time we needed to charge something. Which was a pain in the ass, but yay for protecting us.
So, anyway, we're home. I'm never going to catch up with my flist. Anything interesting happen while we were gone?
