As the morning begins, I have to be Thankful for my blessings..yesterday our Journey to Boston, Salem and Cape Ann began..we have a great group, wonderful bus and great bus driver. We stopped for lunch and our bus driver backed into a post. Everyone was ok..no one hurt..I heard my friend holler there is a pole and that was that. I felt so sorry for our bus driver and of course my passengers. He called his bus line and I had to call Diamond Tours. Everyone involved were on it..I can't say enough about both companies! My company said..Ms. Cindy..you are not the first leader this has happened to and you wont be the last. Be very thankful it was not a wreck on the highway...no one is hurt...you are not sitting on the side of the road putting you all in more danger, you have restaurants and bathrooms available. My tour group is located in Fort Myers FL..she said most had evacuated and she would be soon as well..she said you have my cell number, but dont know if we will have service...it stopped me in my tracks...I realized..we were ok but so many would not be. They sent a rescue bus to bring us to our hotel. Our driver arrived late last night with another bus and we will be on the road again..did this trip start the way i expected..certainly NOT..and the challenges were a struggle..having to unload and reload our things twice! I apologized to my passengers so much, but they realized it was just a freak accident and we couldn't help it..they were extremely wonderful!! Thank You everyone for your understanding and pitching in to help! One told me..they believe things happen for a reason and I am a Firm BELIEVER on that!! There were so many things that I know God has us..the rescue bus driver...lived in the town where it happened..BELIEVE..and CARRY ON!!
