Slice of Life Challenge Day #23
It was 9:50pm. I had gotten home a little while ago and I started packing for my trip to Vietnam tomorrow morning. Of course, I left the packing to the last minute. I found my print outs of my flight reservation and two different hotel reservations. I scrambled around and looked through my folders, drawers and bag for my visa confirmation letter. I didn’t see it anywhere. I thought I had printed it out. I’m usually not that forgetful. I couldn’t find it anywhere. I really thought that I printed it out and put the letter in my folder. Maybe I was just imagining things? Where did I put it? Did I leave it in my classroom?
It was time to come up with plan B. Since I didn’t have a printer at home and didn’t know of any printing places that would be open early on Sunday morning, I would have to go all the way to school in the morning with my luggage and print out another copy of my visa confirmation letter. Then, I would have to get a taxi from my school to the airport. I’ve definitely learned a few important lessons. I’ll make sure to have all of the required documents printed and check for them, before I leave school next time.
Oh man can I relate to this. I HAVE gotten better but this was (is) a major life lesson for me- punctuality, preparedness.. Somtimes no matter how ahead of the game I THINK I am.. something always goes amiss. 🙂 Is this story present day?? If it is- Have a wonderful trip!! Wow- that’s some spring break. 🙂
I don’t know if this will make you feel better but I do this stuff all of the time even when I think I have prepared. Hope you have an enjoyable time. Vietnam? Sounds exciting.
I can completely understand this situation. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve printed and lost the pages. I’ll find them about 3 days after I need them. I’m currently trying to track down a folder I know I had earlier this week.
Have a wonderful trip to Vietnam.
I hate to admit that I find myself unprepared when I think I’m all ready to go. It’s frustrating! Have a wonderful trip.
Ugh, I ALWAYS leave packing to the last minute. And I usually freak out about paperwork and stuff. I guess it’s kind of a good thing I never have money to travel? 🙂
I’ve been there scrambling at the last minute too many times. I hope you have a great visit. Will you be writing about your trip>
I hate it when that happens! I always look in the same place about ten times before I decide that it is not there. And it always happens when you are in a hurry too. Have a great trip!
13 years overseas and I only missed one flight. A good travel agent is worth the extra cash. Enjoy Vietnam and keep writing.
I’ve done this before! I hope it all works out and you get everything printed before you leave. Good luck!
oh. man.
