halloween nightmare
Nov. 1st, 2008 11:23 amYeah, yeah, I know - I should be packing for my trip (and I am) but this is worthy of note:
Note to self - don't plan anything else the day before international travel. Planning for one of these will tank due to divided resources.
Exhibit A: C.'s halloween party last night. One wrong turn and we wound up in the wilds of VA, far away from decent internet reception (so no Google Maps) and so new/obscure that the GPS doesn't have maps for the roads yet.
All whilst running on fumes :(
So yeah, after 2 hours and much tearing of hair and gnashing of teeth, we came home.
Pro: the Zoey vest fits.
Pro: D. got tiny portable book about fine shopping in Florence (not on the road adventure, but on the way home from work).
So, there's that, I suppose.
But, damn.
