Delay and lost luggage
Well basically the title said it all.. The plane in Caracas Venezuela was supposed to have left the gate at 4:20 PM local time, we would have 2 hours to change planes (flight transfer) in Lissabon to get on the plane to Schiphol in Amsterdam. The plane eventually left the gate in Caracas around 7 PM local time. the plane arrived in Lissabon around 7 o clock at the gate, which would be the same time as our plane to Amsterdam was supposed to take off. They kept the plane on the ground for us and some other ppl and delayed that flight. That meant that again there was no time for me to go fly buy shopping in Lissabon 🙁 I was going to by something in Caracas at the tax free section but I forgot I did not had any Venezuelan money left except for a few coins which is basically nothing. So i had put my hope on Lissabon :(. Just like the day we where going to Caracas, No time for shopping at Lissabon then either because we literally ran allover the airport to catch the plane that they had delayed 30 minutes because that time the plane leaving from Amsterdam was late. ANYHOW. Aboard of the plane I wanted to buy a few things that where so new that they did not had it yet 🙁 Although it was in there on-board sales magazine 🙁 that’s just my luck. Once we finally landed back at Schiphol we where quickly out of the plane and back at the baggage band to pick up the baggage. It took a while for the baggage to start rolling in but when it did I saw eventually some familiar suitcases.. well two to be exact.. there where supposed to be three!! The biggest one was/is missing and my new dress, my fairy, and Anarosa her new shoes are in there!! It was located to be in Lissabon still and it would go on the next flight to Amsterdam. That flight should have landed hours ago and I did got some call around the time the next flight would have landed but no one answered and I was kinda sleepy so I am not sure if that was the baggage retrieving company or not. However I figured they would have called me back if it was. Well I can reach them by phone till 7 and since its all ready 8 o clock and heard nothing, I just have to assume I will receive my luggage tomorrow. Lets hope so, I loved that fairy, it was a Christmas gift!!! Besides there was a lot more stuff in there like my shoes and clothes. I don’t have the energy now to add pictures, I just wanna sit n hang on the couch n browse n whatever more lol. Antonio is setting up the laptop for Merel that he got from his bro and I can’t help but wonder where he got the energy from. Then again, I already sorted out the other two suitcases and all our hand luggage. Brought it to the rooms where they belong and gave everyone their gifts. Most, if not all of them where in my hand luggage and the two suitcases that we did got. Lets hope for good news tomorrow :). I will report again then. Oh yah, and the food on the plane.. well lets just say I want to forget about that as soon as possible 😉
As far as the other issues I’m dealing with, no comments yet, still too upset and tired from the trip to have gotten my head clear about it. 🙂
