Travel Voodoo
Monday, April 27th, 2009I’m beginning to get worried.
I’ve been trying to get to Mexico for two years. It looked like it was finally going to happen this winter. Time + Money = Travel. There were some scheduling snafus at first. It was all my fault when the place I wanted to stay over the Christmas/New Year’s holiday was booked. I had waited too long to make my decision. Then in January I missed my flight. While waiting to reschedule I caught a cold that lasted three and half weeks. Then I started to try and reschedule again. Caught another cold that lasted another three and half weeks. Then Spring Break happened (rise in air ticket prices + crowd = no go).
Then decided that maybe southern Mexico just wasn’t the place for me to go to right now. I certainly was getting the message that was the case.
So I started looking towards Rome. Earthquake.
Back to Mexico. Instead of southern Mexico (temperatures rose to 100+) I decided to start looking at Mexico City. Just as I am ready to buy my ticket – 80 people dead of swine flu, schools and public places closed … and this morning … earthquake!
I’m almost afraid to say where I might think about going next. I wouldn’t want to bring down any more catastrophes on the world.
