Have you ever missed a flight? Was it something in or out of your control that caused your missed flight? For Ingrid Lotze and Gavin Moffat it was a luggage issue. The journey itself was going to be long with flight hops and changes that went like this:- Mauritius - Dubai Dubai - Hanoi Hanoi - Bangkok Bangkok - Phuket After 37 hours of travel, the two found themselves searching for luggage in an empty airport in Bangkok at midnight. No one on duty spoke English so a local hotel was found and things were sorted out the next day. Were we angry? No - we like to think it was our resilient, level-headed, self-regulated approach to life, but in truth, fatigue may have played a part in resignation and acceptance of the situation. There were no raised voices, no finger pointing, no harumphing. Just a calm “ok what’s next?”
Arrival in Phuket was with nothing but the clothes being worn and backpacks. A plan had to be made for four days as four valuable suitcases were tracked down. (Each had one 23kg suitcase and a scuba gear suitcase.)
The mantra “This is an adventure” held it all together and it really did turn out to be an adventure with many giggles.
