I don’t know if you’d do the same thing, but would you consider it a good option? And how about your travel companion - are you on the same page?Īfter Prague, I kept thinking “there has to be a solution” for these gap-time situations.
Again I chose the cafe and ate a long slow breakfast until check-in - three hours later. Ok, so one cold rainy morning I arrived in London hours before check-in, but the hotel politely informed me I needed to remain in possession of my bag. And, true confessions, that’s not the only time I’ve done that. Where were my iron-clad stamina and stare-proof tourist shield, fergawdsakes? First time in Prague and I ate the food and drank the wine, but saw no sights. When I arrived at the station, the ticket seller delivered the bad news: no bag storage at the train station.
I once landed in Prague due to a rerouted flight and had a few hours for exploring before my train left. Well, I’ve tried both, and neither worked for me. If, for whatever reason, you find yourself with none of the usual places to store your suitcase - what do you do? Find a cafe or drag the bag along sightseeing? Maybe someone else can lug your bag for you while you sightsee? (Photo by Hilary Gardner) NO. Storage lockers could be available at the airport or train station (but you’d have to travel back and forth to retrieve them.)īut even with the best-made plans, you might find yourself with sights to see and luggage to drag. The hotel might hold your luggage pre-check-in, or the AirBnB landlord may let you drop your bag early. You can usually pre-plan for where your luggage will go during a gap-time as you create your itinerary.
Gap-time can even happen between flight arrival and a train departure. It's the time between early morning flight arrivals and mid-day check-ins or mid-day check-outs and evening flights. Please.īut even I can have issues ridding myself of luggage during a trips gap-time - now an official phrase I completely made up. May not sound like a legit traveler to you, but it’s legit the way I like to travel. When I leave, I want to take my bag straight to my next mode of transportation - the end. What I love to do with that suitcase when I travel is A) give it to someone else to handle/carry right away (like the airline) and then B) drop it at my accommodations as soon as I arrive. I like to travel with a suitcase, which is any luggage bigger than a carry-on.
Sometimes I wonder why I’m not the kind of traveler who can just sling a backpack over my shoulder and hit the road.
