You're on vacation. You probably didn't bring a laptop, because...
you're on vacation. You go out and leave your phone somewhere, never
to be seen again. Now what?
This happened to me. It's the biggest reason I hate that Google has
become so insistent on 2FA. In this situation--just when you need it
most--you completely lose access to your google accounts, until you
return home. If this is day one of your 2-week vacation... :(
