My boyfriend and I were supposed to spend the summer together: part of the time in another country, each of us on separate programs, meeting up on the weekends. The other part of the trip was supposed to be the two of us and another couple travelling around this same country. And the rest of the summer we were supposed to be at home, doing interesting things together and hanging out.
At the last minute, my program got cancelled and I couldn’t get on any other. He went on ahead without me and I spent two weeks doing absolutely nothing at home. I was supposed to fly out and meet him, but my flights were cancelled and there were no other flights to get me there in time, and for a decent price.
I had to cancel that portion too. Now it’s been a month that I’ve literally done nothing. My boyfriend was supposed to come home a few days ago, but his flight was cancelled due to the major tech issue that hit many airlines.
I know none of this is anyone’s fault, or could have been avoided in any way, but I just feel like I’m wasting my summer doing absolutely nothing other than waiting around for the next portion — only to have that then cancelled. How can I make sure that the rest of my summer works out the way I had planned? I’m sure you’ve heard the saying, “If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans.” In other words, we can plan all we want but as you’ve just seen for yourself, plans don’t always come to fruition.
Since you’ve saved money on your fli.
