Lost

After 15 years or so of traveling it has finally happened. The airlines lost my luggage.

You know I had the feeling when I checked in my bag in Charleston. Since I have to connect between two different airlines I don't usually check my bag but today I was also carrying two pictures frames with me that were quite large and I didn't want to deal with dragging my suitcase around also. So I checked it in.

All through the trip I wasn't sure if my bag would arrive. When I got down to the baggage claim in Phoenix my bag was not going around and around. So I went to the baggage service office. Since I am a stand-by my luggage is not covered by the airline. Usually if the airline loses your bag and it doesn't turn up they reimburse you for the estimated value. As a stand-by I am just shit out of luck. They don't deliver it to me, heck they don't even file a "claim" for it.

So now I just have to sit and wait and hope that it turns up.
