Travel is a huge part of my life and I love to share it through my blog and social media. As much as I'd love each trip to be perfect, there are bound to be unavoidable incidents from time to time. It doesn't happen often - knock on wood - but it does happen. Of course, the more often you travel, the greater the likelihood that it will happen to you! In August, Angeline and I spent eight days aboard an Alaskan cruise. As we made our way through the departure gate in MIA, the flight attendants advised us that we would have to gate check our carry on bags because there wasn't room on the flight. I NEVER check my bags, and we had spent an entire afternoon carefully packing both of our carry on bags to fit everything we needed for our time in Alaska. Can you guess what happened next? Yes, the airline lost all of our luggage! Everything we needed was in our suitcases; from down jackets to gloves, to binoculars to my laptop and camera equipment, everything was packed in our carry on suitcases because we did not plan on checking our bags.
We landed in Seattle with only our tote bags and purses...and our bags never appeared at the baggage claim. After approaching the baggage assistance desk, we learned that the flight attendant never actually gave our bags to the bag boys and our bags were still in Miami.
Oy.
Our cruise departed in the morning and while we did have time to go shopping for new clothes, I wasn't really in a financial position to buy all new clothes for COLD weather for myself and my daughter for EIGHT DAYS at the last minute. We would have needed jeans, sweaters, jackets, boots - the works! We waited patiently at the hotel for the rest of the day, and we missed our group dinner because we only had the clothes we had worn on the plane. I had to find a nearby drugstore and buy toothbrushes and toothpaste and something for us to sleep in that night. I was terrified that our bags wouldn't arrive before we had to leave in the morning, that my expensive electronics were lost and that our trip would be ruined. not to mention the fact that I need those electronics to run my business and I wouldn't have been able to afford to replace them if they were really lost.
Fortunately, our bags arrived early in the morning and I was able to grab them and even had time to eat breakfast before we left for our cruise.
Can you imagine if they hadn't? The icy waters around Alaska aren't exactly the place to attempt a nonchalant wardrobe attitude, we needed cold weather gear! We ended up having a lovely time on our Alaskan cruise, despite the rocky start.
The whole ordeal reminded me of how important those things are - they were our essentials, our travel "bubble". And who doesn't want to protect their bubble?
