...it’s all gonna work out fine.
Bad News: Our travel companion Jackie was at the airport waiting to board her plane when it had mechanical trouble and had to turn back.
Good News: Delta re-booked her in First Class on a flight arriving only a few hours later.
Bad News: They aren’t sure where her luggage is.
Good News: Ever since her bags were misdirected during Superstorm Sandy in 2012, she travels with ‘emergency spare clothing’ in the carryon in case the luggage does not show up until, oh, Dubrovnik.
Bad News: Dubrovnik in this case is Funchal, our first port, in Seven days. The emergency clothing will be stretched thin by then.
Good News: The ship doesn’t leave until 6pm Tuesday. It’s only Monday.
Stay tuned for the Tuesday update.....
Tuesday Update.....
Bad News: The bag did not arrive in FLL with Jackie. It did go on her same plane to Atlanta, but then it got misdirected and spent a few extra hours wandering around the Atlanta airport.
Good News: They found the bag and delivered it overnight to our hotel; Jackie picked it up just before breakfast. See? I told you it was all gonna work out. 😁
Further News: Jackie discovered her brand new bag has a torn off bumper corner with exposed screws poking through. We’ll see what the ship repair staff can do about it, but until then.... duct tape.
So glad your friends luggage made it! What a mess. Okay, I looked up Dubrovnik. and find it is in Bosnia-Hergezovina. I am still confused. Is this part of the transatlantic adventure or a separate one? Of course, I am just nosy. Have a great time!!!
