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......
