[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two week trip to Western Europe to visit spouse’s parent. First week went pretty well. rented an Airbnb in the same city as spouse’s parent. In the middle weekend we went away to a nearby city for a weekend away when we were notified that the police stopped by our Airbnb due to the neighbors complaining about water damage. We were freaking out and wondering if one of our kids did something right before leaving but it turned out that a pipe burst. The photos we were sent didn’t look too terrible. Owner said that it would be ready again shortly but due to having no electricity and water Airbnb canceled our reservation. We said that we would be back Monday to pick up our stuff. Went back Monday and everything was locked with an extra lock. Couldn’t get in. After live chat with Airbnb since host wasn’t responding we eventually picked up our belongings at 11pm which was rough on the kids and take it to a hotel. Could not find any rooms for 4 people since it was so last minute so had to book two rooms with two single beds in it.

Half of the family got Covid during the vacation. Half had recently recovered from Covid before the trip.

Then on our flight home we waited in extensive lines at the airport for baggage check, security and passport control and ran to our flight missing it by 5 minutes. Multiple other people missed it as well due to airport lines. Had to go to a hotel. Did not expect our baggage to leave without us so had hardly anything with us such as no clean clothes.

Rough second [/quote]

Let me guess you were leaving out of Amsterdam to return? The lines there are crazy right now apparently.[/quote]

Yes, it was Amsterdam. Only 2 hours in line the next day since we could skip the baggage check line so we made our flight the second day and miraculously our baggage arrived as well.[/quote]
