17 Days!!

On our first cruise out of New Orleans, it began to rain as we were in the terminal waiting to get onboard. This wasn't a little rain, it was a downpour like no other. My dad was driving away from the terminal and almost had to stop his truck because it was raining so hard he could barely even see the road. When we looked out the window of the terminal, we could barely see the ship that was 20 yards from us, that's how hard it was raining.

Then we walked over the little sky-way that attaches the terminal to the ship. The rain had slowed, but was still coming down pretty heavily. We looked down below us where the luggage guys were working very hard to transport the luggage from the terminal into the hull of the boat. We noticed that there was a crate of luggage out in the pouring rain, just sitting there! There was no worker near, the suitcases were just chillin' out there in the rain. We were all just chatting and someone said "Hey wouldn't it suck to have your luggage sitting out there in the rain?"

"Yeah we said, that would suck!" Then we continued walking a little further. As I was walking I was also looking down at the crate of luggage sitting in the rain beneath us. I slowed to a stop as I realized and shouted, "Wait a minute, that IS our luggage!!!" LOL

Well, of course we had to take a picture of it! So here it is, our wet luggage:

All was well, and when the luggage finally made it to our room, it was all dry!! Nothing inside was wet or anything, so we were thankful for that! Memories memories!! :-)
