What is it about this luggage that doesn't seem right? Could it be that there's just not enough luggage for our family of four?
Oh, yes! That's it! One suitcase seems to be missing ... a big, blue one that belongs to Kristy. And who loaded the car this morning, you ask? Matt. He. Didn't. Bring. My. Suitcase.
I was quite cranky about this development, as you can imagine, right? However, I did feel much better when we arrived at Brent's hotel (The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach) and found, in one of our two spectacular rooms, a cheese plate for me, along with four chilled Diet Cokes and a plate of limes. Double Happiness!
I sat next to a lovely woman on our flight who suggested that Matt had not just forgotten my suitcase, but rather, it was his way of communicating to me that I should go shopping and buy all new clothes. Now, that is seeing the glass as half full! So, Brent and I went shopping in Miami Beach tonight and found a few lovely replacements. Brent imagined what it would be like to wear wool sweaters again, and offered his opinions on my clothing choices. He observed that I like things "Plain, plain, with a side of plain."
And this? This is just day one of our vacation.

Matt forgot "your" luggage? Am I the only one who is going to point out what is wrong with this statement? I'm sure Matt really appreciates taking the hit for that one.
We are following along and are looking forward to seeing you in some of your plain new clothing in lots of exciting vacation venues!
Yikes. I understand the frustration of not having your suitcase! Have fun shopping!
Ughh! Very good excuse... sounds like your trip can only get better! And you can only get better dressed! Enjoy!
Dear Captain Obvious: It is Matt's job to load the luggage in the car. ALL the luggage.
It is nice of you to stick up for your brother, though.
:)
argh - well that lady had the right idea with the new wardrobe!! have a great time!
I couldn't imagine having this happen. Best of luck with this first adventure of the trip.
I'm right there with you, Captain Obvious. Oh, wait, I forgot--both of Kristy's arms are broken.
Thanks to all of you for your support. I have accepted 30 percent of the responsibility and our marriage is again safe and sound since Matt has accepted the other 70 percent.
