Missing Suitcase, Day Five

American Airlines is so screwed up! Mr Swami still hasn't got his suitcase. Now they are telling him that it hasn't been sitting in Little Rock after all. Somehow, it is in Wichita (Tom never went through Wichita.) And they can't forward it to him until it goes to Little Rock first because that's The Way It Works.

They lost it Sunday. Today is Thursday. Every time he talks to them it's like starting at square one again. The guy he talked to yesterday told him well, they couldn't possibly deliver it to his place of work if that meant leaving it at a security desk - that's Not The Way That It Works. They need a letter giving them specific permission to leave it at a security desk. Letter was written, faxed.

If the suitcase is not here by the end of the day I told Tom he should just make a claim. Screw it.

-Electric shaver - $90
-2 dress shirts - $40 each
-2 dress pants - $70 each (even though I think we got them on sale)
-1 light embroidered "Champ" jacket - $50? (I don't remember)
-assorted toiletries and underwear - maybe $25? (He had to check the bag because he didn't want to throw away his precious Body Butter, lol)

That? is just stupid. They can't leave it at a security desk, but it can travel the world (or half the US) unsecured and missing. That makes sense. *rolls eyes*

Hey! I like HD's additions. What else can we pad our claim with?

Imagine all the missing possesions if he had been going away for more than ONE night!

LOL at HD's and Bob's additions!

How about a London Fog jacket and a laptop computer? No spare pair of shoes?

A camera. A very nice camera. One that will let you do what Tkit does with her camera and concentrate only on one color.

If he's bringing his iPod, surely he has some gym clothes and a nice pair of running shoes that cost him about $100.

Sunglasses and Braves hat would also be a nice addition. I never go anywhere without mine.
