I did feel sorry for you until I read the length of your stay!

Then I would have a problem with the hotel/car hire bookings at the start. Best to just leave it as it is.

I know ... it's hard. We have to stay with the ESTA 90 days, or we'd have to apply for visas.

ps. I just noticed, you're a villa owner yourself. You, obviously, appreciate the need to spend time there yourself ... making sure everything is up to standard. Dealing with maintenance/renewals.

Besides ... I have an aversion to snow! ... Especially shovelling it! The idea is to come back when it's all gone away.

If it was a 2 week holiday I would be miffed. In the grand scheme of things though I think worse things happen!
I understand you are out there for more than a holiday but not really going to notice one day in 90!

Not really ... It's the principle of the thing!

Like you said yourself, they must have undersold seats and can't justify the flight.

Probably ... I was just making a point here. I'm sure there are many others - who may only be going out for a limited time - who will be REALLY upset at this.

You could build a new house in the time you are there!
