Eeesh. Not a fun way to start a trip. Glad you made it, even in the nick of time:)

Oy! Things happen for a reason?

At least you are in some comfy and Sundance-ready shoes! :T

Una, girl, you have so much attitude that whatever you manage to wear will look like a million bucks! The main thing is you made the flight. Don't get too stressed out about clothes, just have fun and enjoy the experience.
Somebody said that there are no bad journeys, there are good travel stories to tell...

Yes, this will make for a great story And what you wore on your feet won't make or break any party!!

Good thing it's the Gidigios that went with you, and not those house slippers we see all the time!!!

If it's any consolation, it's the people who travel the most that have things like this happen to them. People who seldom travel check over and over again.
You made it and that is the important thing.
Have fun.

Yikes! This sounds a really bad dream! Hope it's all working out for you.
