I’m taking an hiatus from those paths listed in a draper’s shop in India and shifting my concentration to my up coming vacation to Italy (maybe I’ll find a list in some shop in Florence). I figure that since the weather gods have been unmerciful in Boston these past weeks, they may be ready to give us a break on Sunday evening (current forecast is for rain, which bodes better than snow). and keep the runway clear for an easy takeoff to Amsterdam. Looking ahead, I can handle 47 degrees for my layover there. And it gets better; 61 degrees, partly sunny upon my arrival in Florence.
So easy to become self-involved about all of this, even while knowing that it is completely out of my control. What I can control, however, is how I respond. My plan is to act with the expectation that all will go as planned—pack, call the bank so they won’t put an alert on my credit card, check flight status on line, get to the airport on time.
I never make any contingency plans. Bad travel karma! Plus, there will be more than enough time to do that if necessary.
P. S. Yesterday I met a friend for lunch at Bertucci’s and this mural was over the booth where we sat. The photo is taken from St. Trinita bridge looking toward the Ponte Vecchio. Weather gods willing, I will be right there in three days. This has to be good karma.
