Travel disasters

Today's Annoyance: Thinking about my lost luggage
Mantra of the Day: Be thankful that your real travels don't mimic movie scripts.

Have you ever noticed how many travel-related disasters there are in movies? Titanic, Speed 2, The French Connection, The Fugitive, Passenger 57, Snakes on a Plane, and so many other films feature some kind of crash, explosion, hijacking, poisonous gas, a fight, escaped animals, or a contagious disease on an airplane, ship or train.

Thankfully, I've had no major disasters and only a few minor travel-related mishaps. A few missed planes, a couple of very long layovers, and sadly (and most recently), an eternally lost piece of luggage (thanks so much, Swiss International!).

Some of you shared your luggage nightmares a few weeks ago. Apart from that, I sincerely hope that your travels have been safe and fabulous. Wherever you're off to next, bon voyage!
