Weather Watching: Preparing for Bad Weather While Traveling

We’ve all been there. Abroad in a fascinating new place but locked in a hostel or hotel room due to inclement weather and no plan. It can feel like prison. Worse, even. Because prison doesn’t set you back $2K a week and the guards let you out for a few hours. We kid, but you get the picture.
