Another Lit Chick in a motel . . .
From Alesia, finally in Virginia Beach
So three out of three Literary Chicks have been in motels over the past week (assuming Michelle isn't staying with friends or camping out near the Little Mermaid), and none of us are having cheap, meaningless sex. Sigh. The chick lit lifestyle isn't . . . exactly. :)
I FINALLY reached Virginia all in one piece, after EXPLODING TIRES, ROAD TRIP HELL, and nearly going to JAIL last night. You'll be happy to know that today, when we joined the Virginia Zoo, there weren't any escaped lions or exploding camel poop.
With the week I've had, I kind of expected it . . .
I LOVE travelling, when it's 'grab your suitcase and go somewhere new for a week or two.' When it's "take the kids on an umpteen-hour drive in the car with everything you can fit in, then start fresh in a new city and unpack everything you own while on deadline," NOT SO MUCH.
Of course, now it's RAINING. And I'm trying to keep Princess and Science Boy entertained in the hotel room. (Which is why we went to the zoo today, and walked around in the rain. Hey, we used to live in SEATTLE. We're WATERPROOF.)
Every time I travel, it's like a comedy road trip. I have a big karmic sign on my forehead, apparently, that says I'M TRAVELLING. PLEASE GIVE ME MATERIAL FOR MY FUTURE STAND-UP COMEDY ROUTINE.
Sigh. So, please, MAKE ME FEEL BETTER. Tell my YOUR travel horror stories.
hugs,
Alesia, still moderately sane

Well there's the one where I was stranded in Minneapolis/St Paul on Christmas Eve during last year's snow storms... then they lost my luggage for seven out of my ten days of vacation.
Then I flew standby to Disney World once with the sweet ignorant thought that I could fly OUT of Orlando on standby.. HA! We had to drive to Miami and beg for a plane...

Alesia I know I shouldn't laugh at your (mis)adventures but I did. I did not, however, laugh at you being in a hotel with no Sci-fi channel and missing Firefly *scowl*
Since I laughed, I'll share. About four years ago I went to S. Texas for a Team Roping. I was supposed to stay with a friend. I took the kids (for the first and LAST time). I made it through four and a half of the five hour trip before my car overheated and I found myself pulling across very heavy traffic, construction, a packed sideroad and careening into a Kentucky Fried Chicken where I sat for FOUR(TY) HOURS. The worst. Vacation. Of my life. Ever.
My friend still calls me Kentucky Fry =(
