Well it seems that in all the excitement surrounding getting our awesome airfares from L.A to Mexico and back again someone made a few keystroke errors that proved kind of costly.
Apparently I wasn't paying enough attention when I was finalising our bookings online. Not only did I only include 1 letter from my surname I also managed to invert Dannii's first name and surname.
On any other occasion I guess this would have been an easy fix. Just make a call somebody on the other end makes a few keystrokes and it is all sorted. Well yes maybe if this didn't involve plane tickets! Now I know why when you go to a travel agent they ask you to check the names and how they are spelled several times before they lock it in and print the ticket.
To get both tickets corrected cost roughly $10 for each letter I failed to put in or I put in the wrong place. $300US! That was a fair kick in the pants, although in terms of the relief that I felt after we got it all sorted out it was probably worth it. Trying to explain that I was actually "Mr C" and the plane ticket wasn't for the father from Happy Days to a customs official in Mexico City was not something that I was looking forward to. It was just lucky that the day we booked the tickets we ended up getting them $300US cheaper than we were expecting to pay so that is probably some sort of Karmic intervention evening it all out.
It was an expensive lesson that wont be needed to be taught again.
