meanwhile... help needed

[rm]

yuki_onna got married, went on her honeymoon and then got stranded in Frankfurt. It's a long, complicated clusterfuck of a story, but now she and her spouse need help. reannon sums up with links and info well here: http://reannon.livejournal.com/1785169.html

I meant why did they not call the State Department while they were planning this trip to see whether or not they would need a visa.

Though there should have been a big flag on the the Expedia's part that people going to almost any foreign country needs a visa. Though I have such a low opinion of travel agents and travel booking sites that I'm not surprised that this happened, either.

Yeah. I mean I always check a bazillion times too. I needed a visa for Australia after all. Western Europe you don't, more or less, but after that it's fair game. I should actually check for our cruise. I'm pretty sure it's a non issue, but I should find out anyway so this doesn't happen to me.

I used to work for Classic Vacations (then a division of Expedia), but we always had good information, and I had Europe memorized because I worked the Europe desk (Turkey, mostly).

I know how hard it is to remember everything; some of the sites I used to sell I didn't fully get until I personally visited them.

BTW, I have a good travel agent, the one who used to seem the best when he called me all the time. :)
