Hi ,
When the "storm of the century" was due to hit Chicago right before Christmas, coinciding with our flights out to visit my parents in Santa Barbara, my husband and I decided to move our travel plans up by 2 days and avoid the mess entirely. (Good thing we did.)
We had rented an Airbnb in Santa Barbara but when I reached out to the owner, Tony, I learned it was not available for an early arrival. I didn't love the idea of spending 2 nights in one rental then moving camp to the original rental for 4 nights. So I looked online and found there were other nice rentals available for all 6 nights, some even cheaper than
Tony's.
Tony, worried that he might lose my booking—he had a 48-hour cancellation, even over the holidays—immediately reached out to colleagues to secure me a 2-night rental that would tide us over until we could move into his place. One of those looked
great (and was inexpensive), but again, this plan would require us to move locations.
What to do?
Wishing you a Happy New Year, filled with PEACE (I think that's going to be my word for 2023)...
