This was either going to be a truly amazing getaway or one after which my people would never see me again and I’d be featured on some Dateline show where Keith Morrison’s deep and mysterious voice would say, “It all started with a strange invitation to a strange place with strangers who turned into dangers.” My brain is so very prone to run off to the worst-case scenarios and start writing ominous news stories about tragedies that never happen. For. Real.
