Oh dear! How do these travel rumors get started?

I heard the car’s A/C gave out just north of Chico. By the time you hit the city, the first signs of heat stroke had set in; rapid breathing, nausea and confusion. Still the temperatures climbed as you pressed onto Lodi, otherwise known as the heat sync of central California. Arriving in a state of heat related delirium you stumbled from the car onto the asphalt. Flambéd by the sun, you melted into a puddle which sizzled as it hit the pavement immediately vaporizing into the atmosphere. Your million molecules of vapor were carried by the jet stream over the Midwest where they were whipped by tornadoes over Arkansas. Spewed out over the Atlantic, you drifted southeast before being picked up by winds from Morocco that have been blistering Italy and the Balkans of late. Reformulated as a micro cloud somewhere above Siena, you rained down on the Piazza del Campo and of recent have been seen sipping an Aperol spritz with the fabulous Miss Sarah with an H.

Really. Some people will do anything for a cheap flight.

See you tomorrow.

Almost accurate @nosbigs. The vaporizing occurred in Fresno area. Who in their right mind would organize a wedding in Fresno in July? Did i mention it was outside & right at the hottest time of the day? (5:00 pm) a couple young kids in love. I am 88% sure the vaporizing occurred there. Somehow i reappeared at the Tonga room with a Zombie drink in my hand. It wasn't Red Bull that gave me wings....it was the 2nd zombie drink of the evening
