[Travel: Upstate NY] Oh good, first thing we hear about home when we get off the flight is that there is a water emergency happening.
Zigzag Stampede
Further investigating and it turns out my parent's area is fine, but the closet 'major' city is in trouble. Which.... is not good.
Zigzag Stampede
In the taxi to the hotel my aunt and mom parked their car at and he's all: ha, you're from Watertown? Pretty ironic that Watertown has no water.

And we're all just: uh, excuse us? Come again?
LadyRogue
Ahh yeah, I have friends who live up there. No water for folks directly in the area who aren't on wells. D:

It's giving us something interesting to talk about on the drive home. We're all running on almost 24 hours with no sleep.

I didn't hear about that shit, there's nothing happening in Norwich and Oneonta

Oh shit, I hope my aunts are okay... Actually I don't know where either of them live hmm
Zigzag Stampede
It's just Watertown. So if it's not there or they have well water instead of city. They're fine.

I feel so jet legged today. Been up 4 hours. Have done nothing but sit quietly, staring off into space, waiting for others to wake up. Now that they are.... I want to go back to sleep

You're running like 13 hours ahead of everything and everyone in Eastern time. I feel this hard when I go west, and that's only 3.

Went to our local cidar mill today for fresh donuts and apple cidar. https://images.plurk.com/5Hmq0Sw5oypfPadQSSbmHc.jpg https://images.plurk.com/5oW6bbyGdr8iKsXJC8EStc.jpg https://images.plurk.com/3yGBtMJA2PERCMmwY25lj3.jpg https://images.plurk.com/2XgcRYu7RKNkNBrrYnL8Lz.jpg

While I've been too warm to want to wear mine, dad basically begged us to all wear them at once so we did
Zigzag Stampede
Look how happy he is. Worth it (LOL)
Zigzag Stampede
Today I say goodbye to my childhood best friend. She's flying home this afternoon.
Zigzag Stampede
My sister flew out a few days ago. Now it's just going to be me, mom, and dad. And I only have a few days left. I don't want to go back to work.
Zigzag Stampede
I wish I could take my family back with me. Darn the lack of instant teleporting between two locations across the world.
𝚏𝚊𝚒𝚝𝚑🍭
I've been saying for years they need to get working on teleportation systems. Because yes.

Had my last night in my childhood room last night and today we drive to a hotel close to the airport as my flight takes off at 7am tomorrow. I am so sad. Vacations ending are the worst.

It's so tough.

Goodbye home. https://images.plurk.com/WVZ5NEZoVA9C8fm2fYknr.jpg

My mom, dad, and me were doing so well on tears until we realised it's our last meal together and we all started crying
Zigzag Stampede
Poor waiter thought something was wrong and we're just like: no, we're okay. Just sad :-(
LadyRogue
It's tough when you don't know when you'll next see each other. =/
Zigzag Stampede
I'm hoping to start making this trip every other year again now that Covid has settled a little
LadyRogue
Fingers crossed for you. That would be very good to do!
cluelessnu
Well, maybe we can do the holiday somewhere we've all never been together again? Knock more things off your Mum's bucket list perhaps?

cluelessnu
We'll make sure you see them again soon!
cluelessnu
Tell your Mum we love her too
Zigzag Stampede
We made the people in line around me cry too
