Greetings all,
After months of planning, and weeks of packing, we started out this afternoon for Chicago. On the way, I double checked to make sure that our debit card would work by making a small purchase at cvs…had visited the local credit union earlier to assure the validity of my card. I learned at the checkout that it was not working…I was horrified:-O

Dan quickly came up with a plan B with a card from a different bank…think we will be in good shape now.

Good travel rule…no matter how well you plan and prepare, there WILL be glitches that arise. I just was not expecting one this soon!!!! Fortunately I am traveling with my beloved who can sort through difficulties and is great at financial problem solving.

Having left a wake up call for 5:00 a.m. and made 5:40 a.m. reservations on the airport shuttle, we are going to try for a good night sleep before the
next leg of the journey 🙂
