Dear World,
Thank you for helping to understand that in order to fully appreciate Columbus Day, we must all take a journey back to his time. Today began with a trip on a plane that should probably be in a museum--the infamous DC 9-30. Even though I do not usually like to be cramped in a tight space that smells heavily of Kerosene, I decided to embark on the journey given the historical celebration at hand. I think Christopher Columbus would be intrigued to see that a plane made in his youth is still flying the friendly skies.
After finally arriving at my destination, I was greeted by H* Rent A Car as though I personally was Christopher Columbus. True to my apparent age, a Silver Grand Marquis had been selected for me. Since I was erroneously under the impression that I was a mere 27 years old, I would like to say thanks to H* for recognizing my true maturity level. After all, when all the cars on the highway either speed up after seeing the Minnesota license plate or slow down because they think a detective is inside, one is better able to take in the enveloping fall color tour.
Overjoyed (and still in awe) of the natural beauty all around, I later galloped happily into the Courtyard hotel. Thankfully, in honor of Columbus day, it too is a relic. Unfortunately, the room that Melissa selected for me at check-in did not suit my needs. You see, while I appreciate history very much, I'm afraid that whoever stayed in the room after Columbus may not have been a frequent user of deodorant....the smell made me throw up just a little. At first I was upset, but then I remembered that Columbus surely endured much more on his feat to "discover a new world".
Thanks again for helping to see the world as Columbus once did. Maybe next week we can go back to the future.
Love,
L
