Bad Luck

Although my trip was amazing I had my fair share of bad luck.
The trip down was fine. The next day we were supposed to have a driver pick us up at 9 am to take us to my auntie and uncle's house. Two hours later I emailed my auntie to tell her he hadn't shown up yet. She called him and he thought it was the 18th not the 16th he was supposed to come get us. He came and we arrived about six hours late.
A couple of days later we were at the beach. My auntie and uncle were supposed to pick us up an hour or two after they dropped us off. When they came to get us they never saw we were sitting under a tree. They searched every beach in the area and never found us. Five hours later we walked to the highway and luckily they happened to be driving by. Normally it wouldn't be bad to be stuck on a beach that long, but it was plus 40 and we had no water.
The next day we were going hiking in Corcovado National Park. The tour bus was supposed to meet us at 6 am. Apparently they got the wrong restaurant where they were supposed to get us. We waited 2 hours on the highway. The tour company had another bus going out at that time and they picked us up.
We never had any more bad luck until our flights home. We made it to Calgary where we realized our luggage was missing. Then we went to get on the plane and people were sitting in our seats. Air Canada told us Continental didn't check us in at Houston so they sold our seats to people waiting on standby. So we, not them had to get off the plane and wait. Luckily we made it on the next plane that night. We got home at 3 am. We were supposed to get home at 8:30. I had none of my stuff to get ready for school that morning but went anyway. Our luggage came the next day!
