Rough Landing

Microwaving Underwear

Useful travel tip: If you’re in a hurry, it only takes 4 minutes to microwave your underwear until it’s dry. Why would you be doing this? Because your luggage with all of your clothes, all of your personal items and diary, and an extra pair of shoes went on a Caribbean cruise. In other words, they lost my bag. I never saw it or its contents again, but they told me it got on a cruise. The airline eventually reimbursed me for everything that I lost. But let’s just say it was a serious handicap landing in Fortaleza with only the clothes on my back.

My new wardrobe. Yes, that’s right, brown and white Bermuda shorts with a black t-shirt that has bright, yellow bunches of bananas everywhere.

In the evening, I walked back to my hotel along the beach. When I got back to my room, I saw Wayne’s old underwear neatly folded on my pillow. I didn’t even know what it was at first. I’ve never seen anything like that before. I guess he felt sorry for me and sent his underwear over to my hotel. No, thank you, my friend. It’s true I’m desperate, but I’m not that desperate. It was nice of the maid to fold them neatly on my pillow.
