The woes of internet bookings

[guanin]

After spending a ridiculous amount of time trying to find day tours in Wales, I found only one company that doesn't insist that I pay exorbitant amounts of money, stay at a hostel, or request that I make the trip myself. However, I find it very amusing that on their booking page they insist on referring to themselves in the third person as "The Company". Should I feel threatened? I'm not sure.

Better check the fine print as to what you're getting yourself into, there ;)

Of course you could get lucky as the Company agents that you deal with. That's not a bad thing.

It looks okay. So far. *leans back in dread*

Hee. A certain invisible agent wouldn't go amiss.

Bah, don't worry about it. It's not like the rest of the agents are slackers when it comes to the looks department.

True. But I would much rather shack up deal with him, ya know) ;)

[visiblemarket.livejournal.com]

This is true. Between all of the others you could have wild passionate nights deal with, he is the least likely to a) shot you b) shock you c) be otherwise creepy towards you.

Mmm, Claude...

Hell, I'd stay there because they call themselves that.

*laughs* It does amuse me to no end.

OH, well. If the tour is an Exclusive Event confined to a holding cell, I suspect your vacation would be rather rub.

I have no idea how you can guarantee against this, but maybe it would be best if you just manifest magical teleportation powers so you can sidestep the transaction altogether. You wouldn't even have to book HOTELS. You could just pop in wherever you want to visit! At any time! It would be brill.

That would be rather unpleasant. Not fun.

I would love that so much. So freaking much. You have no idea. No planes, no trains, no paying traumatizing amounts of money...

Oh man, I would get such an enormous kick out of that. You know, thinking about it, a travel agency or tour company or whatever sounds to me like a better cover than paper company. So, yeah, if you happen to have any superpowers you haven't mentioned here, be on the look-out.

And they repeat it over and over, too. It's oddly specific. It might be. Who's going to suspect the nice, helpful, sexy tour guide of being a kidnapper in disguise.
