AH! Forgot the night I thought we would surely die. Night flight out of Caracas to Merida, Ven. NEVER do a night flight to Merida! Socked in. Huge storm. Landed some God forsaken place and airline provided cabs to Merida - in the dark and the rain. Supposedly a one hour trip but was 4 hrs. Winding through the Andes, idiot driving, passing on winding roads in pouring rain. I clutched my husband and prayed. I thought that was my last night on earth. Passed a huge accident with a truck. We were not in it. Thank you, God.
And then there was the time the Avis car died half way from Casablanca to Marrakesh at 100 degrees in the middle of no where...
