It's been quite the day with all going quite well until we landed in Fort Lauderdale - more on that later.
All went well with airport check-in, boarding, and our flight. But upon landing I turned my phone back on and had a surprising text from Delta that one of our bags had not made our plane! Our first time in dozens of flights that we had a baggage problem. Thanks to the Delta's live baggage tracking app I was able to determine it was on the next flight from Detroit and would arrive 2 hours later. Upon picking up the one bag we found it was mine, and Mary's was delayed. I wish it had been mine but it was not.
I filed a claim with Delta and they agreed to deliver our missing bag to our hotel. After much second-guessing whether we should have waited at the airport for 2 hours to get it instead of having it delivered, it arrived at 8:30! So now Mary can relax as we get ready to head to the Royal Princess tomorrow. And now we can add "missing baggage" as a reason to fly into the cruise port a day early.
Oh by the way, when we landed it was 75 degrees and clear skies... sunshine and palm trees are a definite pick me up!
