Postcards from Boston

Providence to Philadelphia

Hmmm lots of roads closed

So, the plan was to fly to Philadelphia from Providence RI rather than Boston because it’s about a 1/5 the price. I’m going tomorrow morning for work. Except the news is full of reports about floods all over the area and the hotel I was planning to stay at tonight (the flight is at 07.15) is actually closed because it is flooded. And I just noticed on the map that the airport is right near a town called Big River. Maybe that was a clue.  Who knows whether I will make it to Philly? I feel like a dick calling it that but people seem to do so. Unselfconsciously.

In what really constitutes a totally expected twist since lunchtime, all the roads including the interstate to the airport are flooded too. Maybe I should take the kayak we were looking at in LL Bean…
