The next decade....what's in store?

PHEW!

Some incidents occured last night which made me say "Phew!"

1. Flight from St Kitts to Antigua was delayed so my travelling companion, her 4 year old daughter and I had to amuse ourselves in the deserted St Kitts airport. My request to the daughter to repeat the pirouette (twirl) she had done earlier, lead to boodoof, tears and paralysis with fear. The first two were the daughter, who fell boof and then started to cry, and the fear was the adults whose hearts were beating so loudly, I'm sure they could be heard in the airport.

2. Got a lift from my companion to the hotel I was staying at (don't stay there - The Amaryllis). Since I had not made a reservation, she suggested I come out and find out if they had rooms, before taking my cases out the car. They had rooms so suitcases came out of trunk, she left and I went to check in. Finished the process and I looked down and thought "where is my hand luggage".

Well Twat (me) had left it in the front where I had it, when I got out to check if they had rooms, and Twat forgot to take it out.

The dilemna? Mi neva know whey fi find the lady! Tried to call our mutual friends in St Kitts but of course, since their hotel is not yet opened, nobody would answer the phone. Called the hotel in Antigua where she worked; same thing. That hotel not opened, so no live voice. What fi do? My fear was that because the bag was black and was on the floor, she might not have seen it.

I went up to the (small, sqush up, bare) room and planned to wake up at 7:00am to call St Kitts to get her number. As luck would have it, the telephone rang, there she was on the line and we arranged that she would come at 8:20am this morning and drop me at the airport one time.

After she hung up, I quite rightly said "Phew!"
