Well our trip I have been planning for months is getting off to an awful start. We were scheduled today to fly out from Phoenix, layover in Dallas, then onto Rome. Well I woke up this morning to messages saying my first flight was delayed over 3 hours and I was going to miss my connecting flight. After 3+ hours on the phone with American Airlines- ultimately the best thing they could do is for us to leave tomorrow. I was initially devastated but I’ve realized there’s nothing I can do about it, and I’m trying to be as calm as I can, and just hope more than anything that nothing is delayed tomorrow.
Here’s my dilemma. This trip is for my daughter’s graduation and she really wants to go to Pompeii. Our first 2 nights we were going to be in Naples to visit Pompeii and then make our way back up through Rome, Florence and Venice - departing home from Venice. This has obviously completely messed up our plans and unfortunately we are also losing some money being so close to checking-in. With the time I have taken off of work, we can keep the rest of our trip the same, and then add 3 nights at the end. So Rome-Florence-Venice-Naples. Not ideal but this way we keep the rest of our plans the same.
The main problem I’m having is trying to find somewhere to stay this close to arrival. We want somewhere centrally located and we had reservations at Hotel Piazza Bellini which I was super excited about based on all the good reviews and recommendations but of course they are booked. We are a family of four which makes it more difficult. If we absolutely have to we can book 2 rooms but I’d rather not (I understand that might be my best option though). We are looking for 3 nights from 5/22-5/25. Any ideas???
Sorry this post is so long!!
