Thanks for your post. I really enjoyed reading - reminded me of many travel mishaps I\'ve had thanks to miscommunication. In fact I\'ve linked my most recent blog post http://beyonddisneytraveltips.wordpress.com/2011/11/22/when-mild-is-spicy-and-now-is-later/ to it under the keyword \"travel miscommunication.\"
