Weather.com

Same time last year we were planning to go to Puerto Rico. I checked weather.com weeks in advanced to see what to expect.
Rain.
Rain was what I was to expect.
My mother told me January was the dry season in PR.
As did the travel agent.
As did people who traveled all the time to PR.
Dear Husband assured me it wouldn't rain the entire time we were there.

THEY WERE ALL WRONG.

Every single one of them (except weather.com)

4 days.
Rain.
I read two books.
Lost money in the casino
And cursed a lot.

Celebrating our 10th anniversary we decided to vacation to Antigua.
I read it's the driest of the Caribbean islands.
I read it rarely rains.
My only fears were to be a snow storm in Boston; stranding us here.

Weather.com reports rain in Antigua.
For the past two weeks.
Rain.
On the driest of the Caribbean islands.
Rain.
Once again sending me into a tailspin and causing Dear Husband rage as I complain about it every day.

We leave in 7 days.
Rain is bound to stop at some point.
I complain to whoever will listen.
They all tell me I'm sure its a passing shower.
20 minutes tops.
Or maybe just at night.

I'm not convinced.
I check weather.com 10 times a day (like it's going to change from the previous hour)
I made Dear Husband call the hotel (only to be told it's been a mix of weather and "oh yes sir, it's going to clear")

BULL

Better pack some good reading
And headphones
And a straight jacket. BC Dear Husband is surely going to need to put me in one if it rains our entire vacation again.

Next time. We celebrate our anniversary in the Spring.
Really. Why on earth did we marry in December anyways? (And thank goodness I was too busy back then to check weather.com!)
