When I was packing for the trip I said to myself, "I don't need this raincoat. By the time I get there it will be hot and sunny and this will just take up room and sit in the closet." Very reasonable however I forgot the history of our family travels.
There was the time we went to Death Valley and it rained for three days, the time we went to the Outback in Australia and the temperature dropped 30 degrees, and again in New Caledonia where it rained steadily for three weeks. It can also work the opposite too. Once we went to a rain forest, rain ponchos at the ready, only to find it dry as a bone and uncharacteristically sunny (I felt sorry for the poor Spanish moss drying on the trees). Yes despite all of that I forgot!
Fortunately I am from the land of mist and rain and know that I will dry out ;-) Next time I'm going to bring the rain coat even if the weather forecast is warm and sunny!
