<v Speaker 1>incredible prize. Some emails for us all who we got here?

0:00:43.644 --> 0:00:46.604
<v Speaker 1>Lorraine Christian. In August, my sister and I flew to

0:00:46.725 --> 0:00:49.644
<v Speaker 1>Delhi to watch her twenty four year old son compete

0:00:49.684 --> 0:00:53.365
<v Speaker 1>in the World Power Athletics Championships. Incredible six day trip

0:00:53.405 --> 0:00:57.005
<v Speaker 1>that quickly became a saga. Just starre canceled our Melbourne

0:00:57.125 --> 0:01:00.764
<v Speaker 1>Singapore flight, so we missed his first race. Oh that's awful.

0:01:01.325 --> 0:01:03.685
<v Speaker 1>Our rescheduled flight the next day was today due to

0:01:03.765 --> 0:01:07.805
<v Speaker 1>a loose seeding panel. Then again in Singapore, we circled

0:01:07.805 --> 0:01:09.804
<v Speaker 1>for an hour in a storm, which meant we missed

0:01:09.805 --> 0:01:12.445
<v Speaker 1>our connecting flight to Delhi. When we finally arrived in Delhi,

0:01:12.565 --> 0:01:13.805
<v Speaker 1>our luggage did not make it.

0:01:13.925 --> 0:01:14.645
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god.

0:01:14.725 --> 0:01:17.164
<v Speaker 1>The worst part my sister had written all her son's

0:01:17.285 --> 0:01:20.005
<v Speaker 1>race times in the diary packed in her lost bag.

0:01:20.565 --> 0:01:24.165
<v Speaker 1>When we checked online, we misread the schedule. Oh no,

0:01:24.285 --> 0:01:27.565
<v Speaker 1>I thought the finals time was the qualifying race. When

0:01:27.565 --> 0:01:30.285
<v Speaker 1>he realized our mistake when my son texted to say

0:01:30.365 --> 0:01:32.645
<v Speaker 1>that he had made the final, Oh my work. It's

0:01:32.685 --> 0:01:35.765
<v Speaker 1>actually just a sad story, sad case. It's just sad.

0:01:36.925 --> 0:01:39.485
<v Speaker 1>This is not great radio. Deborah's got a better one,

0:01:39.525 --> 0:01:39.845
<v Speaker 1>I hope.

0:01:39.885 --> 0:01:42.325
<v Speaker 2>Deborah, Hi, Christian, how are you.

0:01:42.525 --> 0:01:44.645
<v Speaker 1>I'm good. Welcome to the show, Deborah. So what is

0:01:44.685 --> 0:01:47.325
<v Speaker 1>your holiday from Hell story? Your regretation?

0:01:48.125 --> 0:01:50.405
<v Speaker 2>Well, when I was nineteen, I went overseas on my

0:01:50.525 --> 0:01:53.485
<v Speaker 2>own and did a tour. When I got to the

0:01:53.485 --> 0:01:57.205
<v Speaker 2>hotel in London, I found out that my roommate was

0:01:57.525 --> 0:02:02.085
<v Speaker 2>a lot older than over fifties. Then I found out

0:02:02.125 --> 0:02:04.645
<v Speaker 2>that I had the right room, but the tour people

0:02:04.685 --> 0:02:08.005
<v Speaker 2>had booked been to and over fifty five to another

0:02:08.165 --> 0:02:12.405
<v Speaker 2>undert dirties to us. Oh, I had all these elderly people.

0:02:12.805 --> 0:02:15.605
<v Speaker 2>That was fine, that work. That did work out, okay, Christian,

0:02:15.605 --> 0:02:17.565
<v Speaker 2>because I made a lovely friend out of my roommate.

0:02:19.125 --> 0:02:27.045
<v Speaker 2>Bridge some word puzzles, yeah, crosswords all that. Yeah. But

0:02:27.085 --> 0:02:29.484
<v Speaker 2>then when we got to Venice, it went pear shaped

0:02:29.525 --> 0:02:31.484
<v Speaker 2>again because we were getting ready to go on to

0:02:31.525 --> 0:02:35.045
<v Speaker 2>a gondola drive and all our luggych had to go.

0:02:35.485 --> 0:02:38.405
<v Speaker 2>Can we go on with us? And then when they

0:02:38.485 --> 0:02:41.405
<v Speaker 2>threw the luggage into the gondola, mine ended up in

0:02:41.765 --> 0:02:46.645
<v Speaker 2>the Grand Canal luggage.

0:02:46.645 --> 0:02:48.525
<v Speaker 1>It's a stinky as well.

0:02:49.245 --> 0:02:53.525
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yep, yep. I had photos, all my clothes, everything,

0:02:53.605 --> 0:02:56.845
<v Speaker 2>so needless to say, I had to then, you know,

0:02:56.965 --> 0:02:59.645
<v Speaker 2>like try and retrieve whatever I could. But it was

0:02:59.685 --> 0:03:00.445
<v Speaker 2>absolute chaos.

0:03:00.525 --> 0:03:02.405
<v Speaker 1>So what did the gondola guy then jump in and

0:03:02.445 --> 0:03:02.845
<v Speaker 1>get it?

0:03:03.445 --> 0:03:05.365
<v Speaker 2>Well, no, I know he was there. He just stood

0:03:05.365 --> 0:03:07.445
<v Speaker 2>there with his blank look on his face, going, oh

0:03:07.845 --> 0:03:13.605
<v Speaker 2>what do I dote? Absolutely you broke fix it? Yep yep.

0:03:13.725 --> 0:03:16.445
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, so that was my That was my trip

0:03:16.485 --> 0:03:19.685
<v Speaker 2>and I really like sort of couldn't wait to get

0:03:19.685 --> 0:03:22.005
<v Speaker 2>home there to tell everyone about it. Because back then

0:03:22.005 --> 0:03:24.364
<v Speaker 2>it was snail mail, so you know, Mum and Dad

0:03:24.365 --> 0:03:26.325
<v Speaker 2>had no idea what was going on with Doesn't that.

0:03:26.325 --> 0:03:28.765
<v Speaker 1>Feel right now when you say that wasn't that long ago, Rudy,

0:03:28.765 --> 0:03:31.885
<v Speaker 1>But that feels like a century ago? Well? Yeah, the

<v Speaker 1>postcards you would send a postcard? Does anyone send postcards anymore?

0:03:36.205 --> 0:03:36.285
