It’s a good thing my parents taught me how to plan, especially for events such as family vacations.

One year rings in my memory as the year our family vacation could have been a family disaster.

We all enjoys baseball.

And one of the destinations we’ve always wanted to visit was the National Baseball Hall Of Fame in Cooperstown, NY.

We had our preliminary plans made: What we were going to see, where we were going to stay, and how we were going to get there.

Then one day while reading the latest travel news for the region, there was an article about how the hall of fame was going to be closed due to renovations the week we were planning to visit.

Whew. It was a good thing I checked.
