Non-refundable means non-refundable! We didn't even go there. I accidentally booked the wrong week, unrefundable. Expedia sent a message to try and change the date, but when we didn't hear back in 48 hours and we got a sour taste and changed our trip entirely to elsewhere. Oh well, better than a vacation in Kansas, as we say!
