Holiday Heaven?

Adventure #1 We get to the greatest beach house ever- finally- after a day of travels and endless  delay.  The trusty house keeper, Jemeice, has promised to meet us there, but alas, she is not there.  We play a game called Try to Find the Hide-a-Key for 29 mins while avoiding the security cameras ogling at us.  We fail.  I poach some faint wifi and send a desperate email to the owners....in Scandinavia.  Our phone isn't working here! We saw them 'locking up' the house they call an airport when we left there, so we know the airport has closed.  Can't go back there, And it's dark- which is actually a great thing because the stars are AMAZING right by the ocean.  We forget we're homeless for a miNute and explore the area.   It's the perfect location and the house LOOKS perfect through windows in any case..  After some time I frantically search through my stuff, because knowing how organized I am ( used to be), I figure I'll have some local info somewhere. To my surprise I actually find Jeneice's ( still not sure how to pronounce it) number.  I pick up the cell, and considering this is a holiday spoiler, I allow myself the luxury of troubleshooting the phone so that I may call for $3.99/min.  I reach Jeneice and she tells me the airport said that the plane wasn't coming in due to a gas leak and fire in the fuselage.  Silly her- that was the plane BEFORE ours.  Think I would have known if there had been a fire on the plane! So, it all works out and we get into the best beach house at 9:45! Whew and yay.  Adventure # 2 is coming and THAT is a doozie.  You won't believe it......
