I felt like we had been robbed of our getaway and even called my office to tell them that I needed a couple of days off the next week also
Ok, going on getaway is supposed to be relaxing, right? Well, let me tell you our families trip this year was anything however that, then it started out normal, we packed the car, piled in, and headed out for a three hour drive to the mountains. There is a attractive lakeside dwelling that we rent each year and the youngsters just love it up there. About an hour into the trip the car’s cooling system gave out and we spent the next two hours driving in 90 degree heat with the windows down. The breeze did little to help and we even ended up pulling over because a bee flew in the window. It was awful! When we arrived, our excruciating luck continued. The owner of the dwelling had forgotten to leave the key and we had to rest outside waiting for him to arrive. He also told us that he had to put in a window cooling system as the wall one died last summer. I was over this getaway before is started. Try as we might, the week was actually torture. I just wanted to go back home. Then I remembered that the AC in the car wasn’t working either. I asked around and found a mechanic in neighborhood that would be able to look at the car and hoped that he could repair it. No such luck. When the week was over and we finally arrived back home, I just wanted to rest in the cool air conditioning and relax. I felt like we had been robbed of our getaway and even called my office to tell them that I needed a couple of days off the next week also. At least I could hide away in cool comfort in our own home. Best part of the getaway for sure.
