We booked a white water rafting trip for Monday of our trip, but I was motion sick on my way in on Sunday and didn’t want to make it worse by rafting. We called to cancel and we were told we couldn’t within 48 hours. I had previously been told the week before that I could cancel or not show up and not be charged. The gal worked with us though since we had been given faulty info. We set up to go later in the week and had a blast! The water was freezing, but so worth it. They are very safety conscious, which is very important in doing what we were doing!! Boat butt is real!! lolread more
