So Amtrak called me at 6:00 PM this evening to tell me the auto train we were booked to take tomorrow will not be running because of service disruptions due to the flooding in the Carolinas, and the earliest they could get us on another train would be Tuesday arriving Wednesday. So that left me with two options...make the drive in the torrential rain all along the East Coast or convince my husband to fly and try to find last minute flights. For those of you who have been on the forum for a while, you know my husband has a severe flying phobia, so I was prepared to try to make the drive. He decided he didn't want to risk it and told me to book flights. We are now scheduled to fly with the rest of my family on Sunday morning. I'm happy we were able to get a flight at the last minute, but I feel terrible for the stress it is causing my husband. I'm starting to feel like this trip is jinxed....first Disney announces the end of Duffy (my niece's favorite) then DHS shuts down the Jedi Training Academy one day before we get there (the only thing my nephew asked me if he could do) and now the travel and weather issues. That's a trifecta of things going wrong....it should all be smooth sailing from here. Right? I need a serious amount of positive thoughts and lots of pixie dust. I sure hope the weather holds up while we are down there, especially Tuesday night when I have booked a surprise Hallowishes cruise. Fingers crossed please!!!
well done to your hubby, that was no mean feat.
