Costa Rica: Mending

Praise the Lord for the sewing kit in our bathroom! I was able to use it to mend my bag. When we arrived in CR, there was a 20 inch tear in the bottom of my bag. Thank goodness nothing fell out if this gapping whole. There was no luggage sold at our resort, and I felt uncomfortable leaving to get a replacement bag, so I used 2 sewing kits to fix it. Nick was quite impressed with my work...as was I. The airline is sending me a check to replace my bag, but I was able to get my things home in that damaged bag. It is by the grace of God that the bag situation didn't completely unglue me. I'll be honest, there were tears after being on the phone with CR Delta Baggage for an hour and not accomplishing anything. I was much better after calling the US # and they helped me in less than 5 minutes. Wow, what an ordeal!
