"This was some adventure huh ?"

"This was some Adventure huh?". Wow that really was an adventure, now that I sit back and think about it. Spring break, my 7th grade year to be exact. I was going on a road trip with my mom,my step dad, my little brother, my two cousin,my aunt and uncle, and a very good friend of mine. We were driving all the way to News Port News, Virginia to visit my cousin who had just been stationed in there. I think we left Minnesota at about 4 a.m. Our first stop was in Chicago, Ill we stopped at a rest stop just so we could all stretch our legs out and get something to snack on. From there we drove to Ohio. Ohio was our final stop until the morning. 13 hours away from minnesota I must remind you. So when we got to our hotel all the kids got out and we went up to the hotel room while my step dad and my uncle were unloading the two cars. Once all the bags were up my step dad and my uncle came in. As everybody was grabbing there bags and suitcases, I realized that I didn't see mines so I began to panic. I asked my step dad where was my bag and he said he had brought all the bags that had been in the van up to the room. Knowing that he had to have been mistaking so I rushed down to the van with my fingers crossed hoping and praying my suitcase would just be hiding and I would find it when i went down there. I searched the car in and out then becoming hopeless so I went back up to the room with crocodile tears in my eyes. I told my mom my suitcase had been lost with everything in it and the only thing i had on were pajamas and slippers. My mom told me there was no way my suitcase could have been lost when we didn't go anywhere. Then I the light bulb in my head suddenly came home and I had remembered that I never brought my suitcase down to the loading area and my step dad told us to bring them down but for some reason i thought he would go up stairs to get my bag. When I confirmed with everybody that I had left my suitcase with everything in it everyone fell into laughter but me. I was just now figuring out that my suitcase was gone when I was 13 hours away from where my suitcase was. I was out of everything. My tooth brush, my clothes, my under wear, my socks, my shoes, my everything. I was sick. An I thought my trip had been ruined. So we found the nearest Walmart and we brought me panties, a tooth brush, some flip flops and two jogging suits. My mom dread the fact that she had to go out and buy me seven outfits for the seven days we would be there until the light bulb came on in her head. She remembered that she had accidentally forgot to lock the front door and she remembered that my cousin worked for an airport. So she called my dad and she had my dad go to my house, go get my suit case out of my room and bring it to my cousin. My cousin had my luggage fed ex'ed first class to my cousin who we were visitings home in Virginia. I think it took two days to get there so in fact my Spring Break trip had been saved after all. "This was some adventure without a luggage huh?"
