Lost 'luggage'..... it's the dreaded peril of air travel.

Well, one of them anyway.

Yesterday it happened.

My 7th bag arrived after being bumped 8 days ago. (We flew Aug. 9)

It gained 6 pounds along the way and lost 4.

It finally got on board an aircraft on the 14th, five days after it was originally bumped.

Rainwater must be heavy when applied for enough time.

'Opening' the bottom through rough handling can be helpful for draining excess weight.

When in doubt, freeze the luggage. eek I guess.

Electric and battery powered tools can be amazingly resilient.

Best of luck in flying meat and fish out of the boonies this fall! smile


Sometimes, the air you 'let in'matters less than the air you 'let out'.
