This is a luggage story that’s half “confession” half “embarrassment”but fully happy ending. We live in Orlando and cruise quite a bit out of Lauderdale. Most times we carry our luggage off so we can hit the road quickly. But since turning 70 I have been badgering my semi-control freak husband that we should SLOW DOWN and let them do the work for us. Soooo this past New Years cruise on the Reflection he allowed us to do that. We pack fairly light, each 1 medium bag. Mine is purple with lime green tags….pretty easy to find. We were the first group off, each grabbed a bag and off we go to the turnpike. 2 hours into the drive I get a call from X saying they have MY BAG with my name on it in the terminal and believe I have someone else’s. As no doubt you can imagine the next 30 minutes were pretty “unpleasant” though stronger words could apply😂. I’ll spare you the rest of the gory details but we were blessed beyond believe that the other couple lived in Fort Pierce and would be driving up the turnpike with our bag while we waited VERY PATIENTLY to correct my mistake. They were as nice as could be which could have been WAY different…..because the delay didn’t improve either of our days but nothing as awful as you encountered. Both bags WERE identical, Travelpro purple with lime green tags. All of us were about the same age, had eaten next to each other in BLU 3 nights earlier. Ohhh…..and just for a laugh….they said they spent the first hour looking for a black bag because they thought that’s what they brought.🫣😜watch out us old folks WE are everywhere🤷‍♀️. If I meet you in a cruise I’ll see you at the walkoff. Sue
