Nightmare of a day...week...month

First came Ike......then Tuesday my mom passed away....today I tried to get to the cruise ship to give my dad some company and
1. my flight from Houston to Miami was delayed 2.5 hours
2. this caused me to miss the ONLY flight going to Grand Cayman in time to make the cruise ship before it sailed
3. American Airlines automatically put me on the next flight to Grand Cayman which I declined and booked a flight to Cozumel which is the next stop for the cruise
4. Arrived in Cozumel.....taken to beautiful hotel all set up by the cruise line...however....my luggage is not here.
5. Call our wonderful assistant from Royal who tell me I must go back to the airport and report this.
6. Got ripped off $10 for a cab.....they say they have no record of my luggage ever being checked.
7. Luckily...I have the bag check number....they are going to look for it tomorrow...after all it is 5pm and they close
8. Only one flight into Cozumel tomorrow.....2 thirty.....if luggage is not on that flight I must wait another 2 days......
9. Tried to call from room and left message on Jacob Count cell......needed someone who would answer and he usually does.
10. He did not answer so left a message at 25.00 a minute.
11. Left message on everyone blog.....complete info is on thecountsfamily.blogspot.com
please....if anyone reads this......let my family know I am alright and need some help......I am safe....staying in hotel....not walking streets of Cozumel.......would love to have some English TV!!! Guess I will try to get some much needed rest.

Please pray for my family..........we have many tests this week. I am so blessed by my immediate family. Kim, Dan, Jill, Jacob, Kristy, Curtis and Kaylee (placed in order of Schwartz family membership...no favoritism shown!) I love you all so very, very much. I miss you all. Thanks for helping! Sorry about the goffy blog....typing on a Mexican keyboard....and YES it is different!

Mom, don't worry we have gotten all of your messages and we are trying to get your luggage for you. We have contacted everyone we can possibly contact and rest assured that everyone is working to find it for you. Jacob has whipped them all into shape but we have no results yet. We have the number to your hotel and have been trying to call you but the number has been busy for a long time. We are working on this for you. we love you.

WE FOUND THE LUGGAGE!!!! Right now it is in Grand Cayman. The airline is sending it back to Miami so that it can be flown to Cozumel. Hopefully it will arrive on the 2:30 flight into Cozumel. The bag has to clear customs before the ship leaves port at 7:00 so timeing is an issue. If it doesnt make it to cozumel on time they will send it to Fort Walton Beach for you to get on Sunday or whenever you are back to Destin. We will let you know as soon as we know more. We still can not get through to the hotel you are at (still busy) so I will just comment here with any new information. love you.

Jill and Jacob...thank you!!!! I can not get through to comcast. Maybe if dad and I got to the airport we can get it cleared. I will try that at 2 30. That is the best news I have heard in awhile. I am nervous about my daily meds. I only have enough til Sunday. I will need to get some transferred to Destin. Smooches....there I go again...crying!!! More than air!!!!
