My friend is getting married this summer and I am the maid of honor. What I thought would be simple planning has turned into a hellish nightmare.
See my friend lives in Minnesota and I live in Florida. I am the only bride's maid coming from out of state. I am going this weekend to get fitted for my gown (Finally), I hope it doesn't cost me more then $100, being the dress is on sale and I've been informed that since the bride got her dress at David's Bridal, I get an addition $20 off. So yeah that in itself is a relief.
Now this is where my headache begins. I am afraid to fly and since I am traveling alone, well that doesn't help. So I figure why not take the train. I have traveled by train before and loved it. I figured since the trip is going to take 2 days I get a private room. HA! WRONG, If I get a private room, since the train makes 2 stops before getting into Minnesota I am going to be charged $508. Apparently I have to pay for the room for each stop. Mind you this is only one way.
Now if I travel by coach the fare is $192 for the whole trip. Ok seriously does this make sense to anyone? Why charge 3 different price for a room and yet not the coach? It is the same fecking trip. Why can't a room be $300? When I traveled to NJ last summer by train it was only one price.
Ok I am done ranting..
