I guarantee you nobody will feel sorry for me after reading this.
At home we lose things from time to time but you usually find the item in a place it wasn't meant to be. When traveling you have to set up your living space and often it doesn't align with your home set-up. You stuff things here and there and scramble to find them throughout the vacation. In our suite we have more cubbies, shelves, drawers, rooms than I have in my living space at home. In our bathroom we have two under counter shelves on each side of the sink, counter top space, shelves above the counter, shelves in the shower, ledges on the bathtub and a nice corner unit with assorted shelves and places for things. Exit to the area where you fix your hair and you have a mirror and a drawer. Then walk into the closet that has hanging space, floor space, assorted drawers, hooks for hanging things and the safe. Beside the bed are 4 bed side tables with drawers and shelves. Then you have the four low dressers at the end of the bed with assorted shelves. Move into the living space and you have the TV cabinet with shelves, the bar with more shelves and the dining table, sofa and chairs. So many places to stuff things and lose things. Don't forget your suitcases are under the bed with a few lingering items, too.
I told you you wouldn't feel sorry for me! So I've lost my iphone. No big deal. It will turn up but I head back to the lounge where we just listened to a talk. Not in the chair I sat in, or on the floor. The cleaning staff has not seen it. I call security and they put out an all points bulletin to be on the look out for a pink iphone. Back to the room where I might have a little something to drink while I ponder my lost item and voila....there is my phone hooked up to the charging station right next to my bottle of Jim Beam. Security calls to check on my lost phone and I advise all is good in suite 529. Meanwhile, Ron in 531 has lost his ipad. Go ahead. Guess.......it's on his charger next to his bottle of red wine in the bar. I guess all roads lead to the bar......not Rome!
As the saying goes - you always find what you are looking for in the last place you look. Brilliant!
