I’ve just returned from a two week holiday safari with my fiancee

So here’s what actually happened.

While rushing to get out of NYC, I stepped on and demolished the alarm clicker for my car. I had to open the car, set off the alarm, pop the hood and cut the horn wires. That worked, but still left my lights to blink for about 90 seconds every time I open and close the door.

So I’m out of NYC and four hours later into DC. Sleep for a few hours, run errands all day and head for Columbus with fiance and dog at 8pm. 11:54pm, realise that I left my wallet on the roof of car while pumping gas just outside of DC. Turn around and drive back. 2am, searching in the rain for my wallet. Surprise hotel for the evening. 6am, searching for wallet in the light. 10am, driving back to DC to get a new drivers liscence.

So we took a brief nap and then set out for Columbus, take two.

By this time we had missed our flight to OC so we rescheduled for 7am the next morning.

Spent the first few moments of Christmas 2003 on i-70 and arrived in Columbus at 12:30am. We had a fine, but foggy-eyed visit and present-opening session with my family until 2am. Up at 5:45 and off to the airport.

Things started to look up when our flight (which had a stop-over at ORD) was oversold and we took the two free RT tickets and the first class upgrades. But we accidentaly threw away one of the free tix with our lunch wrappers. After that the trip out was pretty uneventful.

The return trip was pretty uneventful. We only got one flat tire about two hours outside of DC. I must take this occasion to put in a shameless plug for my fiance – that girl is good with a tire iron. These little surprises are always wonderful.

The occasion did afford me the opportunity to put two new Pirelli tires on my car. The ride is much nicer now.

All I have to say about the whole affair is that between my fiance, her family and friends and mine, there are some great folks. I was the only one who ever got frustrated with myself. I suppose these things happen. And as always, there’s no substitute for having good folks around.
