First, let me tell you why he was taking this trip. My friend’s mother, was recently received alarming news about her health. He and his mother are very close so my buddy has been completely devastated by this news.

My friend liquidated what he had so that he could take his mom on a trip to Salt Lake City for a week. Taking a vacation had been a dream of hers for many years. Due to limited financial resources, they had not been able to travel. They had a wonderful week and spent a lot of quality time together. He wanted to maximize their time before her treatment begins. Martin fears that she is headed down a very long and bumpy road.

My friend does not have Internet service at home, so he had booked their flights over the phone with a third party. With all of the emotions that he is dealing with, he had not carefully check the itinerary.
