So we anxiously await the publication of the monthly newsletter so we can select the activities we want to sign up for, and then we call the resort Activity Office:
us: Yes, we will be staying with you for two weeks starting on the 15 and we wanted to sign up for a couple of the trips you have.
Very Bubbly Cheery Person: Oh great, what trips?
Us: Kitt Peak, Tombstone and Pima
VBCP: Oh, two of those have fees. Do you know anyone here at the resort who could come sign you up?
Us: No, but we could give you a credit card number
VBCP: I'm sorry, we don't take credit cards in order to keep the costs down and credit cards have high fees.
Us: Not even just to hold it and we can pay you in cash when we get there? You took credit cards for the reservation, so I know you can process them occasionally.
VBCP: No, I'm sorry, we just can't do that.
Us: Well, how about we send you a check?
VBCP: Uhmmm, there are only three spaces left on the Pima trip and four on the Tombstone and Kitt peak is already full, so I cannot be sure there will be space when your check arrives.
Us: Well, how about putting us down for the Pima trip, that one is free.
VBCP: I'm really sorry, you have to sign up in person.
Us: But didn't you just tell me if we knew someone down there they could sign up for us?
VBCP: Yes, but they have to do it in person. I'm really, really sorry. That is just the way it is.
Us: Well, how about you sign us up 'in person'.
VBCP: I can't do that. I'm really, really, really sorry.
I can't wait to see how the rest of the tickets for the onsite events go. We have an order form, which can be mailed, but am just pissed off enough that I am not sure I want to play with them anymore.
