cleaning up the hot mess

me again!
ha! you didn't really think that would be the end, did you? how could an epic adventure end like that? this is well, very delayed, but in need of some closure!

So my coworker and I made our way to the car rental, got the car, headed out of town. For Boston…we got out quickly and painlessly! Wow! It was a gorgeous day in Boston, hard to believe just 3 hours away had gotten hammered with snow. We asked, “where is the snow?”


We got maybe 30 miles away from home, then STOP, we were stuck in traffic from an 8 car collision, also right about here we found the snow, and posed in traffic for a photo:


We finally get back to Vermont, I drop her off at home, return the rental at the airport, take a cab to my car (in the parking garage downtown). At this point I’m feeling so thankful I’m finally home. All I wanted was seltzer, yogurt & fruit, a shower & my bed. I get out of the cab, and what happens? He takes off with my suitcase! So I start flailing my arms, running after him…yeah in my cowgirl boots in the blizzard covered streets. Got bag. Got car. Went home. THE END.

So....to recap:

Car (g12-grr)

Plane (grr-ord)

Plane (ord-bos)

Bus (bos-south station)

Train (south station-n.scituate)

Car (n.scitate-daleys)

Car (daleys-harbor inn)

Cab (harbor inn-avis)

Car (boston-btv)

Cab (btv-80 leonard)


Oh--and the irony: when I got back to my office. I opened my email, and there had been an automatically generated email that said: Prepare for your upcoming United flight on Mon, Mar 7....little did I know....


P.S. I still love to travel.
