for replying so late. His phone's been wonky and he often doesn't see messages until hours after they're sent. He was absolutely cool with the change in plans--he was originally going to drive down by himself anyways--and both thanked me for offering to let him in on my new plan and assured me he'd be fine. I went ahead and booked the first hotel--I got a SWEET deal on a one night's stay at a Comfort Inn just down the road from NC (and more importantly within walking distance of Captain D's--a fast food fish joint that good church friend and I love and only get to when we're down south, which in the case of good church friend almost never happens). I didn't know you could still get decent hotel rooms for less than $100 these days 😊. Better still, Sis emailed me to apologize. She said she gets "hot" when stressed (and said I probably do too...um...not really) and her "communication is important" line was out of line. She was really worried this was going to drive a wedge between us. I emailed her back, thanking her for the apology and telling her yes, that line irked me, but it was a fleeting irk <g>. So we're good...until the next vacay crisis, I'm sure. I do feel for Sis having to deal with so many friends and family members converging, trying to figure out lodging and times to meet up and having to occasionally call the restaurant where the celebratory lunch will be and adjust the number of attendants. Many people, including Bro and his daughter, have been a bit unfair with their waffling on whether they're coming. *I* was a bit unfair waiting till not too long ago to let her know Dad was now not coming. But again, all is well...for the moment.
