Our recent trip to Las Vegas reminded us of unexpected events happened during the start of our trip to Europe last year. I am publishing it here, hope you would find it interesting.
It was Feb 23rd, 2005 and we had flight to Italy at 5:00pm. We were very excited for the trip. Sorav dropped us at 03:30pm at SFO airport. As usual we checked-in our luggage, headed straight to security check. It was 04:00pm already. At the end of security check one of the officer asked for my ID, when I opened my wallet to my surprise I had an empty wallet with Rs. 500! I have used this wallet during my India trip. It was a nightmare for me, recently married and taking my wife out without money! On top of that Anu didn't have credit card either. Basically we have no way but to cancel our trip. Suddenly I realized Sorav has spare keys to my apartment and can bring my wallet. Sorav was nice to go into our place and search for wallet. To my dismay he couldn't find it. It was already 04:15pm.
Finally he gave up the search at home and thought to look in our car as a last try. I don't know what made him do that as he didn't have our car keys, but their was a bigger surprise waiting for all of us. Guess what a bigger surprise, my car doors were not locked! What a relief! He found my wallet in the car, though it would be most stupid act on my part to leave the car open when I was going out of home for 2 weeks. He immediately started for airport. In the meantime boarding had already started and airline staff suggested us to book the next flight. However I am a positive attitude person and decided to wait for Sorav to reach.
Sorav had to drive really fast, he had 15 minutes to reach airport by covering 30 miles. He drove really fast and reached airport at 4:50pm. I got the wallet and ran to security but boarding had already closed. We were really disappointed. But then a biggest surprise of all, after 10 minute an announcement comes that "FLIGHT has cancelled due to heavy snow at Frankfurt airport". This was the last thing we could have expected. Airline moved all of us to nearby Hyatt and we didn't bother to come back home. This last one hour became a very memorable part of our trip and was a great opportunity for us to start dealing with problems as a couple.
