Pre Kangaroo Island

Hello dear armchair traveller followers.
As I am about to embark on my next 'overseas' trip albeit a mini version, Murphy's Law has kicked in and it isn't even St Patrick's Day yet! At the beginning of the week I got a call from our Tour Director who is escorting the tour, to say that our 10 o'clock ferry is cancelled for servicing so now we are booked on the midday ferry. Not much of a problem except there are now twice as many people and vehicles on the 1 ferry so we have to scramble with the great unwashed for seats together. All is not lost though so I figure we will make the most of it, and I'll now have twice as many people involved in the community singing I intend leading whilst on the 45 minute ferry ride😛
In keeping on my rose coloured glasses and pretending that I am in control and it is all going to work out okay, I then get a phone call from our Tour Director this afternoon whereby she tells me that she has just returned from the same trip to KI and is as sick as a dog, as were 14 of her 16 passengers. This means that she won't be doing our tour in the morning, and there wasn't any one else in her office available to do the tour full time with us. This means that someone will get all the paperwork to me tomorrow morning at 7 o'clock when we are due to head off and someone will meet us in Penneshaw but won't be able to stay with us the whole time. We will have 3 different coach drivers but the Tour Director is very confident that it is all going to go very smoothly. I'm not 100% confident that her confidence is bankable...
Anyhow, this little Pollyanna now has slightly smudged rose coloured glasses and has re packed her suitcase to ensure more alcohol has been packed!!!
It can only get better.... Right??????????
