Ok, I am going to New Zealand next week, and after an almost 30 hour (after changing planes 3 times and countless hours of transit) my friend sweetly promised to drive 5 hours to come pick me up (since flying to her town would involve at least another change and transit). Now, four days before I leave her husband announces that he doesn’t want to come get me (even though his children live there, too and he had already arranged to have dinner with them the night before).  I am totally stressing out now - and totally feel like crying! :( Arrgh :(
