And being totally honest, I also pictured being less than graceful in some of those pursuits.
But instead, today we woke up past noon and have spent the entire day as couch potatoes...in Abu Dhabi.
Sometimes our travel plans don't work out. It's usually annoyingly benign - like when I didn't realize Bahrain's Ramadan was super strict and we opted for Prague instead, or getting on the wrong train on our way to Medoc last year, or simply that something wasn't as good as I hoped. We don't dwell on it, but still a valuable part of the whole travel experience.
But yesterday, we had to cancel our entire Cyprus trip at 2am just a handful of hours before we were supposed to depart.
First, I got a text at 1:30am from the airline saying our itinerary had changed.
And when I checked the airline website it had been replaced by a press release stating they had gone out of business 90 minutes prior and ceased all flights.
Steve and I did some quick checks to see if the trip could still be salvaged - flying in on different airlines, or even re-routing to an alternate destination.
But in the end, we opted to just cancel the whole thing and use the vacation time for a later trip.
And then we ordered a pizza and ate it in bed with a bottle of Cava, while watching HP 7-1.
