Taking The Long Way Home

The good news is that my luggage finally caught up with me after four days of being home.  It wasn’t necessarily lost, but rather it hit a roadblock.  You see, apparently when a person switches airlines in between connecting flights, the initial airline is no longer respondsible for getting one’s luggage onto the next plane.  At least this is what I was told by the Sidney Airport and whether this is true or just a bunch of bullpucky, I guess we’ll never know. The thing that made locating my luggage so difficult was that I hadn’t saved my boarding pass with the barcode sticker on the back.  I didn’t think I needed it anymore!  So the moral of this story is: Don’t toss out your boarding pass until you have your luggage in your hot, little hand!
