For Sandra’s bachelorette, Tania, Mia, and Sandra organised a trip to the Maldives! The three women scheduled their travel and other arrangements for their week-long stay. Even though everything was going according to plan as they made a to-do list, Tania felt off. She only realised it once the ladies’ checked bag was lost at the final destination airport.
