Liz and Colin are Cursed

Well Liz and I are going on a trip tomorrow, so everyone should
know what this entails: an equal combination of bad weather and terrible luck. Exhibit 1, our June trip to Disney World, the happiest place on earth. Many people will tell you that in Florida rain is always probable, but usually subsides in the late afternoon and evening and gives way to sunny skies. Well it didn't happen when we were there. It rained. All day and all night. It wasn't very magical.




Exhibit 2, our trip to beautiful San Diego in April. We arrived in the morning to overcast skies. I promptly informed Liz that the haze will burn away around noon, and sunny skies will prevail. Well, the sunny skies did not prevail. We took a taxi ride to the San Diego Zoo and our driver told us that it usually only truly rains in San Diego about 6 days a year. We were there for 3 days. It rained all 3 days. I took the liberty of checking the weather report the day we left. It was sunny and 72.


Please look to the right for an Exhibit of our Christmas trip to New Orleans in 2004. Don't see anything you say, that's because we didn't get there on Christmas as scheduled. According to Dr. Rodriquez it didn't snow in New Orleans for over 50 years on Christmas. Can you guess what happened next. I'll save you the suspense, Liz and Colin book flight to New Orleans. New Orleans has first major ice storm in recorded history. Colin and Liz sit in airport on Christmas day. It was awesome.


Our lack of luck when traveling extends beyond just poor weather,
we just have all around bad luck. For instance, lets look at our trip to Las Vegas during the spring of 2004. It was cold in Chicago so we were looking forward to basking in the heat of the desert by our pool at our hotel-casino. As soon as we checked in I asked what the pool hours were, and was informed that the pool was under construction for the week. They say what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. Well I think what happens in Vegas sucks.


As stated in the beginning of this post Liz and I are going on a trip. Again we risk life and limb to travel to beautiful Southern California and Disney Land. Believe it or not it looks as though the weather might not cooperate. Looks like chilly temperatures and cloudy skies on the coast. But wait, warm weather awaits inland during our trip to Disney, right? Wrong. Again, cold and overcast. I did have hope when I learned that Ian and Steph were coming that the weather would be nice. Apparently they are the ying to our yang when it comes to travel weather. However, it looks like our yang is going to rain all over their ying.

Well, who knows what is going to happen. Maybe it will be sunny, warm, and gorgeous all weekend long. Wouldn't that be nice.

Oh, did I forget to mention that Liz and I are going to Hawaii for
our honeymoon. I am pretty sure the weather will be nice for that. At least that's what I am hoping for.
