Our trip to Vieques, Puerto Rico

3/3/11, 6:00 AM: Headed to airport. Starting to get excited, but not looking forward to 5 hrs in the air... (And that's just to reach San Juan ). There's a 2 hour lay-over before we catch the "puddle-jumper" to the Island of Vieques.

6:47: Oops! Missed flight. By 2 mins. Now we'll HAVE to spend the night in San Juan. Fly into Vieques tomorrow.
MJoe's upset, but controlling his anger. So Why doesn't this upset me? I guess my upbringing was often filled with little inconveniences like this.

We came home, napped and had lunch. And it's --

12:00: Off to airport. Again. I booked us into (what looks like) a cute oceanside hotel for the evening. We can get have dinner in San Juan, get a good night's sleep spend a couple of hrs having breakfast and checking out the city, and then be in Vieques by 1 pm.

I sure hope there's sun in the Caribbean....

Since today's snafu cost us a day in Vieques, we're going to stay there an extra day.

We always have a choice in how we respond to these things -- hopefully.
