ahka | Flood in Rio... (Reply)

Our trip to Rio de Janeiro is under risk of not happening. Apparently, there is flood and who knows if it will be cleaned by the end of the month. It just happened today and airlines have not updated their flight information. The article explained that there was a big traffic in the airport and a lot of canceled flights.

I called Orbitz and found that I can cancel my hotel with no penalties 7 days before reservation date and I could cancel our tickets, only that would cost us $250 per person. I absolutely don’t like this fee thing. So, I started to explore other options. We could still fly to Rio and take another plane to go to Iguacu and stay there instead of Rio.

Well, we have more than a week to see what’s going on there and if we would have to change our trip. I am determined to go to Brazil because we already spent money on our visas.

In fact, yesterday we got our visa documents back because they were missing signatures. We signed the papers and Boris mailed them today, so hopefully next week we will get our passports back with the visas. One problem after the other.
