Sadly i was unable to stay at Melissa's place, my flight from Honolulu to Auckland was rerouted to Sydney because of inclement weather and they shut down the Auckland Airport. I had no means to communicate this to Melissa. Our flight landed in Sydney after 10:30pm. Immediately after landing I communicated to Meliisa the situation and the only suggestion was to have travel insurance cover the bill. I do not have travel insurance. I would feel differently about giving a positive endorsement if she had at least offered some sort of compensation vs nothing.
