Today I woke up at 8am and supposed to drive all the way to Las Vegas, NV but I was involved in accident... It was just cloudy after departing from Albuquerquee but it became snowy after 30 minutes drive and snowstorm began. So I couldn't see a few feet before... This might be also the annual event.
Then it happened after 3 hour drive from Albuquerquee!!
I drove slowly because the situation was so bad due to snow but the car in front of me spinned out of control and I couldn't avoid it and my car also spinned. I had no injures to my body but my car got impossible to drive. I called police and let it towed to the closest village, Gallup. Because of the insurance of car-rental, they would prepare for new car without any extra charge.
So far, it was ok but the arrival time of new car was 7:30pm at the earliest and it might be tomorrow. Also I had exhausted experience of snow drive 2 years ago, I decided to stay at the motel in Gallup. The lady at the motel told me the highway was closed, so it was impossible to get to Las Vegas tonight anyway.
Also I need to cancel the show "O" at Bellagio hotel that I booked for tomorrow 6:30pm show...
This is because I'm not sure when I can get a new car. Even if I had it today and leave early morning tomorrow, I doubt I can arrive by 6:30 if it snows again. So I had no choice.
Whatever, in case I can't make it tomorrow, where should I have New Year's moment? It will be the worst New Year ever for me...
There were two luckies even in these situations.
The first one was that I could cancel the hotel for tonight for free. It was much expensive because of the end of the year, so it relieved me somehow.
The best luck on me was that the place of accident was close to Gallup. There is a place without anything for an hour drive, so it was a big mercy for me so close to Callup. Actually I was so nervous and lonesome during I waited for the police and I wondered what I can do in case I couldn't get new car, how I can go back to Los Angeles. I really feeze this because Gallup is small town, probably village, and how I can get to the airport or big city.
I really wish tomorrow is sunny day!! (from the very bottom of my heart)
