We have been planning for this occasion that we will spend Thanksgiving with my side of the family while we spend Christmas on Travis’ side.  The original plan of this Thanksgiving celebration was for us to fly in to Atlanta and my sister- Rosarie and her husband-Christian will drop us in Jacksonville to take thing things that we have left including our baby – Cougar.  From Jacksonville, we would then rent a bigger vehicle like an SUV to have everything fit.

After careful consideration of the prices and the busy airports, we have decided to cancel flying and rent an SUV from here in Minnesota and take it to Jax.  On rough estimation, it will cost us at least $500 for the rental and the gas for the entire period of our trip to the South.  But then TS came up with another idea.  He told me that we can actually fit everything in our car (Mitsubishi Galant) with the exception of the cheap folding tables which for him is not worth the $300+ rental.  His idea actually makes sense and it won’t be a problem since we just had the vehicle and the car parts checked.  So, I did not hesitate on embracing his idea.

Changing plans has been a part of our lives.  I don’t seem to have a problem with it as long as the change will bring more benefits to us.  In this case for instance, it can save us the rental cost.  It was not only this time that we had changing plans.  And because of such recurrence, I have learned to become more flexible.  I like to plan things but if there are changes necessary, I don’t mind it.
