Trip Complications

As luck would have it, we're sick. Sick enough to where we had to change our plans in a fairly significant manner. We were slated to fly out today, but with our malaise (102 degree temp), we had to scrap that plan. The illness came on yesterday afternoon, and we had to wait a bit and see how things transpired. By the evening, things hadn't gotten better, and with no food in our stomach and just sleep, it was clear that there was a good possibility that we weren't going to be in shape to fly the next day.

I spoke with R on the phone and we decided to keep our options open and see how we felt in the morning. Sure enough, we were better, but still not feeling great, and the idea of traveling for 8 hours while feeling ill was tantamount to torture.

So, this morning it was decided that we would change our plans. It's a little complicated, but we bought ourselves some more time. We are now flying on Sunday, and to Florida instead of Atlanta. The plan is to meet mom in Jacksonville, and then drive to our final destination. I'm amazed we were able to find a flight at the last minute, but we did it. Now we have some more time to rest and get better.

It's funny because we were all set to leave, I had my mind set on it, and now we have more time, and I'm sort of relieved. Go figure.

Until the next time, thanks for reading, and thanks to Tibor Fazakas for the pic.
