Uh-Oh

After much debate over the weather situation (aka. still raining), we made a last minute decision to jump on the ferry and book a cabin at Stradbroke Island for the weekend. We were so excited to have somewhere dry to be for the weekend, that Jenna’s mind got a bit distracted and she broke the #2 road trip rule – don’t lock the keys in the car!!! This should actually be rule #1, because we can’t break rule #1 without the keys! Sheer panic sets in, as we realized we are on an island, Friday afternoon, with the keys, phones, food, everything locked in the car. It’s truly amazing what the mind can come up with in these situations. Luckily we didn’t go with plan A – smash out the back window. Although the hatch was latched, it wasn’t completely shut tight. We managed to slip a wire hanger through the side and hook the lanyard. We pulled the keys to the side of the hatch door, but they were still stuck. We bent the key ring so we could release one of the keys to slip it out the side – success! We are always up for a challenge! Disaster averted.
