I feel for you. Being stuck someplace you don't want to be for 44 years is unimaginable to me. I'm really sorry this was such a let down.
Can you reschedule it for another time?
I know what you mean about the leaves changing and the crisp air. I LOVE the autumn here on the East coast. Is there a way for you to rent out a cheap hotel room close to where you'd like to take the footage? There's got to be a way for you to get back "home" again.
I'm soooo sorry they cancelled out on you like this. I hope something else comes up for you to fullfill this dream.
