We can’t say enough about apple air tags and were able to follow her luggage to Newark and eventually across the North Atlantic – a day and hours later to Barcelona and hours later to our hotel. The luggage tag placed by United at check in was useless as United used someone else’s tag…Virgil Holmes, tag on her bag, with apparently a sticker that matched someone named Christine. We spent countless hours on the phone with United with only one person confirming she understood and we had to trust that and the little lone apple tag to tell us the bag was on the move. Shopping (just in case) in Barcelona was fun…and the bag arrived at dinner time Friday…all is well.
Over all, we had a couple of fun days in Barcelona, a first time for me, and nice that Alix had been there a number of times. Beautiful city, so European…which I have missed! Saturday morning was transfer day to the ship – seamless and easy. We are on the Regent SS Voyager, a smaller ship, and not full, though when we booked two years ago, there was a waiting list for anything. While in the lounge in Newark, Arnold Palmer, my Regent agent, called and suggested an upgrade to a larger suite for a very good price, so we took that and are now enjoying an elegant space, our own butler, and may be spoiled for life. For a month, it’s nice to have the extras and room!
We met a bunch of “solo” travelers yesterday and had dinner with them. The cruise line helps to organize this. Delightful! Today, we will be hanging out with the bridge players as it is a sea day. We are sailing our way over to Cadiz, Spain at the moment and can see mountains afar. Calm, quiet seas…breakfast in the suite, and thoroughly enjoying everything.
Happiness is luggage even when its late…
Part of our lovely sweet!
Breakfast in the suite today!

Jensy,
How wonderful to hear from you!!! Too bad Alix had to wait for her luggage but glad it found its way to her. I hope she had all the important stuff in her carry on to get her by. I just ordered two Apple air tags for our future travels.
It sounds like a fantastic trip! You must get a picture of yourselves with your butler so you can remember these times when you were rightfully “spoiled”.
Enjoy and keep in touch when you can but focus on having fun as your first priority. I’m so happy for both of you.
Hugs,
Connie
