grrr. just got some potential bad news
Long story short.... The Girlfriend and I were planning on making this a week long trip. We were flying into Fort Lauderdale on monday - staying with my sister in South Beach Till wednesday. Then drive up to west palm beach wednesday and stay with two of our friends who live in palm beach gardens (i used to bartend with him, and went to High school with her) - they were going to show us the town and take us to dinner - and Jen was going to spend time with Nikki (my gf) while i golfed. Perfect for both of us. She gets to lay at the pool, shop, spa - do whatever with a friend, while i have the time of my life with the boys on the course. WIN WIN!
Then thursday get checked into PGA National and meet everyone at the IBAR for the first time. Which i am EXTREMELY excited to finally put faces to names of all the wonderful members Ive met here. Planned on flying out of WPB late monday...
Well.... As soon as JB posted this - i showed the girlfriend and told her we could make it a week long vacation and visit friends family - and she was super excited. I committed - booked flights - signed off with the resort, pretty much crossed all my T's.
In June of 2010 - her step sister - got engaged. When nikki went home for Christmas they gave her a "SAVE THE DATE" - it is May 21st - the friggin saturday of the outing. you gotta be kidding me. So many things wrong with this its ridiculous. This is 2 months after we booked our trip.
we talk about it - and decide - look nikki isnt even in the wedding - we would only be guests (which in itself is weird) Nikki and her stepsister are not close.. And we both really wanted this vacation. So we tell her family - sorry we already booked our trip before you planned this wedding. If you wanted us to be apart of it - you should have asked us to either be in it, or tell us when the date was. I find it hard to believe they would wait 6 months to set a date - and only give family/friends 5 months notice?
Nikki went home to bucyrus tonight to speak with them again. Apparantly there was a big fight yesterday...
Im looking into changing nikki's flight to fly out of WPB rather than FTL and have her fly home Friday am. so she can make the wedding. even though she is livid and does not want to cancel her vacation for this. Its more a power struggle i think with her step mom/step sis & her dad. Hell they were fine with it a month ago.... i dont know what changed.
Sooo i told nikki I would fly home with her friday - and go to the wedding. But she literally told me "no way you are missing this" You dont have to go.
So i thought about it - i made sure that it was fine and ok - and she said absolutely its not up for discussion. You are not going to the wedding, stay and have fun with the guys.
Pretty cool girl i have.
Soooo unfortunately - if you arent there thursday - you wont get a chance to meet her - and ill be flying solo the rest of the trip.
barring any changes before then.
That sucks! But we will definitely be there Thursday and I would love to meet her before she has to leave.
