Delays, mishaps, the trip that went wrong. Half of them will be told as good stories in a few years and the other half will simply be forgotten, and there is no way to tell in advance which is which. The unpleasantness now has almost no relationship to how it will be remembered.
When something is going wrong in a way that is annoying rather than serious, it can help to think of yourself as currently gathering material. It does not remove the frustration, and it puts a small distance between you and it, which is usually enough.
Which past disaster of yours now makes people laugh?
