Testing my Theory

Right on the heels of discussing, no right and no wrong, no good and no bad - just relativity, I am faced with a travel situation (notice I did not say problem). I have been in Prague now for two days and haven't told you anything about it yet. I decided I would stay here until Thursday morning and take the Sky Europe flight from Prague to Split, Croatia (getting back to my original plan to see Croatia afterall). I booked the flight, found a hotel with a water view in Split, and booked it, then went about my business sightseeing in Prague for the last couple of days. I'll get to this part in a minute. This morning, however, the lovely attendant at my hotel (Hotel Saint George) here in Prague informed me that the airport has grounded all Sky Europe flights out of the republic since the struggling Sky Europe has failed to pay airport fees for some time now. Getting a last minute flight from Prague to Split on a major European carrier is anywhere from $700 to $2000, as of this morning. Trains from here to there are a little complicated, and from what I can ascertain from my internet search, not direct. This eventually may be my alternative if the flight situation does not resolve itself quickly. Learning from my time and contemplation during this trip, I am repsonding much more calmly than I expected. This situation with Sky Europe, although not part of my plan, is out of my complete control. All I can do is process the information, and react to resolve the situation to meet my original plan, or accept the situation as is, and stay in Prague longer. Keep reading to find out the resolution.
