How awful! I am so sorry that your trip of a live time turned out that way.

But I was reading your post hoping against hope that they *would* say you

could reschedule. Wouldn't it have been horrendous if you never got another

chance to go? I'm glad you still have the trip once the disappointment

eases.

Liz,

I am soooooo sorry that you went through the LONG train rides for

nothing. I can only imagine how hard it must have been for you and

to do all you need to do in order to take care of . UGH! I

am relieved to hear that you will still have the opportunity to go at

another time, though. Hopefully you will have a better experience

next time. Maybe if you do wait to go next year, will be

able to appreciate it more, too. )

Take care and good to hear from you,

Jodi R.

Hi Liz:-)

How frustrating was that! There is so much in our lives we can not control.

I am glad you were able to get out of FL before the hurricane hit. That is a

long time too be traveling.
