Woke up this morning. Glorious sunny fall morning. It is “Scone Day” in the building. Carlton went down got me a scone. I was enjoying my coffee and scone – I let myself off the diet leash until Nov 1. Punch up my widgets and I found the snow icon on tomorrow’s weather. WTF??? It isn’t Halloween yet. Good news is – I don’t think it will cause any travel problems for us.
But, it sure means that anything that needs doing outside the building needed done today.
Usually when I travel I am prepared for every thing that I can imagine going wrong. What if my box of clothes isn’t at the hotel? What if the box I mailed doesn’t arrive? What if it rains? What if it doesn’t rain? What if we have to go to a funeral? What if we decide to go to a fancy dress ball? What if Martians invade? What if my camera breaks?
This year I decided on the less is more approach. I am taking one camera. I haven’t decided about taking my backup drive. If I get to Kona and my hotel box is missing – I can go up to Wal Mart and get shorts with elastic waists and granny panties. If the box I mailed doesn’t arrive – I can get a new wet suit. If my camera floods, and it might, Amazon will send me a new one. If my sandals expire – Zappos is waiting. If we have to go to a funeral – there is a 50/50 chance that it will be a “local kine” funeral and shorts with clean t-shirt is what one wears. Fancy dress ball – we a talking Kona here – it isn’t gonna happen. Martians invasion – well, I hope my camera is still working!
