I've been planning a trip to France with my friend Susan for about a year. We've done all the advance legwork, making hotel reservations, booking seats on the bullet trains, getting museum passes. We have a fabulous trip planned!
Wouldn't you know it, Hurricane Irene is scheduled to hit the east coast of the US on the EXACT DAY we are scheduled to fly out through Washington DC :-{
It took 5 tries over about 6 hours, but I did manage to get our flights re-routed through Chicago. However, we leave one day later. It could be worse with all the disruptions in air traffic going through the east coast hubs. And it gives me an extra day to do laundry and pack.
If all goes according to (the new) schedule, I should be drinking fabulous wine and eating wonderful French cheese in 48 hours!!
