On which subject, how does anyone with a destination *NOT* have
"schedulitis" as defined in commentary on our travels? And isn't, as
it's defined, the very act of planning a voyage, a commission of the
sin? If not, how does one ever arrive anywhere, whether by accident
or because they just want to go there? I want to go to NY because
relatives live there. More will arrive. But if I'm not there on a
certain date, one will continue to be there as he has for the last 30+
years, and the other will enjoy his company. But somehow I'm taken to
task for looking forward to arriving...

I've run across the "somebody is flying in" quandary countless times
in cruiser journals, and have no real answer for it. The closest I
can think of is to plan to be at a location at least a week before
guests arrive. But even that can fall prey to "The best laid plans"
syndrome, a malady especially common to sailors.
