As disappointed as I’d been with the weather messing with our plans, we’re still pretty lucky in the important things. Watching the news tonight we learned: there was a rockslide on a highway that we’d been travelling the past couple days; a pile-up on another highway we’ve travelled everyday since Saturday; a water-main break a few streets over; a fire at a hotel a couple blocks down; and union strikes at a hotel and the electric company. And, the storm we got caught in on Friday downed power lines on one the main highways and left 300 homes without power for days (partially because of the worker’s strike).
So, with all these things going on around us, we’ve been pretty darn lucky to miss each one of them. It reminds you what’s really important. Even though you want your vacation to go perfectly because you’ve paid a lot of money, and it’s a once-in-a-lifetime trip, you’re still doing okay if you come out with your health, the people you love, and at least a couple good photos for your computer background.
(But the mosquito bites and sunburn still do suck.) :)
