It’s stupid o’clock in the morning and I’m having trouble sleeping even though I’ve been asleep and would desperately like to have stayed that way.
It doesn’t help that I am missing certain people terribly, to the point where the tears won’t stop.
Argh. At least it’s darkened down in the cabin and nobody knows I’m sitting here being a blubbering sook.

There has been a bit of turbulence but nothing major. Just like a carnival ride, really.

The kids on the flight are all asleep. There are four or five of them in my immediate area, but they have been really well behaved. I’m grateful.

I’m colder on this flight than I have been on any other flight. That might be my degree of tiredness, or it could be my pain levels kicking my butt. What I do know is that I am feeling rather miserable right now.

Just stopped at Hicksville WV for fuel. As soon as we got off the interstate there was not really a road, just a series of potholes bigger than the RV.
And the gas station we got to actually advertises on the sign outside that they sell snuff.

Adverse weather conditions further east and north have caused us to cut our trip through Canada short. Our plan was to head for New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, but there are high winds and too much snow and ice for safe travelling in an RV.
I am devastated about that, but unwilling to drive into danger to pursue my desire to see the Island.
I have wanted to go to PEI ever since I read Lucy Maud Montgomery’s ‘Anne of Green Gables’ books as a young girl. It was definitely on the bucket list for this holiday, and I’m afraid it will have to remain there for my next visit to Canada.

So, we have decided to go south rather than east.
Sorrow.

While waiting at a bus stop this morning for our ride to Chicago, a lady asked where we were from.
When I said we are from Australia, she asked if we all wear baskets of fruit on our heads.
I restrained myself and said as kindly as I could, “I think that might be Brazil.”
She said, Oh… its easy to get them mixed up. They’re so close.”

Really?

Definitely flying with Virgin again. Aces.
