I am a worrier, and right now I am very worried about the weather affecting our travel plans. We are supposed to get hit with a bad storm and it’s going to be tough getting to the airport and who knows if our flight will even be going. The words “might not leave until Thursday night” escaped my wife’s lips and I could just cry.

I know the weather is out of my hands, but I worry about it anyway. I can’t just sit back and say “well, we’ll see what happens” - I fret about it. My wife asked her boss if the company would pay to move our flight to tomorrow instead of Wednesday, so we could get out before the weather gets really bad, but he is apparently of the opinion that “it’s just going to rain” so the answer was no. We were thinking of staying at the hotel near the airport so we’d have an easier time getting there, but the boss won’t authorize it and we can’t afford to do it ourselves.

I don’t travel enough to know what happens when there’s bad weather - how bad it has to be before the airports close. I also don’t know if the cab company will send a vehicle that can handle poor road conditions, and we don’t know anybody with a four-wheel drive vehicle, so I am just sitting and worrying with nothing I can do.
