Sorry this is off topic, but I need some level-headed advice. My husband and I are supposed to go on vacation to Maine tomorrow. With all that's happening, I'm scared as hell. We're supposed to fly into and out of Boston (where the two WTC planes were hijacked). Not to mention the fact they suspect some of the highjackers had actually come through Portland, Maine. We're staying in Bar Harbor, but still...
I know my husband is looking forward to the trip and we have reservations for hotels, car, etc. I'm thinking even if we try to go, it's going to be hell in the airport because of all the people still trying to get home, and who knows if there are any rental cars even left up there. We're checking on all that today. They cancelled today's flight of the same one we're supposed to take tomorrow from Atlanta to Boston (not sure why, maybe no one would fly...)
I'm sort of a natural worrier anyway, but just thinking about this trip (flying, being in the Boston/Maine area) is making me ill. He's ex-military, so either he's not worried or not letting it get in the way of living his life. His philosophy is more like "I could just as easily die at home as on vacation". I'm more like 'why put yourself in danger if you don't really have to'. I haven't discussed with him my (growing) fears about this.
What would you guys do? Thanks for listening.
