Lost Luggage...Vacation Fun
Gorgeous beach sunset They lost our luggage, first thing. Now that's a great way to start a vacation. The real question, though, was how? We had a direct flight from Charlotte, NC to Fort Myers Beach, FL. No connection, no rush to catch a plane, so how do you lose someone's luggage? Talented, I guess. The baggage claims representatives in Fort Myers Beach kept insisting that we must have missed our luggage. "Are you sure it's not there? Did you check the ones in our office?" That second question annoyed me each and every time they asked it. Why? Because we were standing in their office, a mere two feet from the baggage referred to. So, where did it go? Providence, Rhode Island. Yes, you read that correctly, Rhode Island. Really? How? They gave us an overnight essentials bag, pathetic in its offerings, and told us if our bags made it on the next flight, they would come in the next day around 11:19am. We could drive back to the airport t
