We get our luggage by sheer luck finding what looked like the last Southwest Attendant in the entire airport at this hour. But the couple we linked up with didn’t have theirs.
If not for the Apple AirTag we would have had to drive back to Sarasota the next day. What. A. Mess.

Several minutes into the ride we check the Apple AirTag which was in one of ’ luggage and see it’s sitting at the Sarasota Airport after all! But no one told us it was transferred🤪
So these poor strangers turn around (hoping to find their bags too)

So we hop on the only other option which is to Sarasota (1+ hour north of Fort Myers). Southwest tells us our bags will arrive in Fort Myers the next day. A nice young couple offered us a ride back to Fort Myers from their family member, so we trustingly take it

We get off the plane in Atlanta, run to the gate and the plane is still sitting there but they wouldn’t let us on. And the flight attendant, with absolutely no urgency, says they were never told to wait for anyone.

We were flying from Denver to Fort Myers with a connection in Atlanta. Flight out of Denver was delayed “because of weather in Utah.” Attendants in Denver told us the plane in Atlanta would be delayed to wait for several of us trying to make the next flight to FL.

Put an apple AirTag in your luggage for your next trip. You won’t regret it with the way airlines work these days. Also be nice to the people on the plane next to you, they may end up being your only way home at 2 in the morning 🤪

Thoughts about #Scandoval because I can’t stop thinking about the insanity that was the season finale.
If the entire world didn’t hate/condemn Rachel and Sandoval I don’t think they would have thought they did anything wrong 🤯 #PumpRules

After speaking at a GOP fundraiser in Fort Myers, former President Donald Trump stopped to grab some pizza at D-Hop in Fort Myers. It’s a popular spot downtown 🍕
Workers say they only had about 45 min notice before he (and this big crowd) showed up!
