You Guessed It! Never Travel With Carly …
I went to Denver RomCon … and if you want details on the fantastic conference, go back and read Janelle's Monday post. If you want the down and dirty Carly stories, you came to the right place on the right day. A reminder for those not familiar with my travel woes:

And then I arrive in Denver last Thursday. Ready for this? I walk up to shuttle at airport and ask "crown plaza"? The driver says, come with me. He charges me flat fee along with other people on the bus, and since I've been to Denver before things seemed familar. At some point I realize I'm driving way too long on the short bus and I say isn't the Crown Plaza closer? The driver says we are going to the Crown Plaza. I say near airport? He says no in downtown Denver. Hello shouldn't he have asked me which hotel if there were 2 in the area?
He says I'm stuck, he's on his route. He'll try to get me on a bus going back once we get to Denver. An hour later he's dropped off all his people at various hotels I say, are we going back to my hotel now? No, he says, I have my pickups first. 
If he'd told me that from the beginning I would have gotten off at the first hotel he stopped at and taken a cab! Now I tell him to drop me at the first available hotel with taxi cabs. I ask for my money back, he gets it, and then I had to pay $30 for a cab ride back to the hotel – only to discover the shuttle from the airport to the correct hotel is FREE. And the cab ride from downtown to my hotel took all of 15 minutes. 
I've traveled an hour and a half after a perfectly lovely flight, my heart is racing, my head is pounding, and I arrive at the hotel around the corner from the airport. Woo Hoo.
At least I had a good time and an easy trip home!
So can you believe I have yet another travel horror story?
