Luggage Update

So my bag finally made it to Orlando. The problem was that my bag was only checked through to Paris, even though I'd asked her to check it through to Orlando and I had confirmed others along the way that my bag was indeed on my flight to New York.

Well I got it back and everything inside was wet. I got really scared because I though it was wine or oil but it wasn't. It was water. And things had been wet for a couple of days because it smelled a little but not too bad. After some sleuthing I realized that the bag had gotten so wet on the outside that the clothes on the inside were soaked. I guess they just let it sit out in the rain for a couple of hours. a couple of things are a bit rusty from the water plus there's a dent in part of the handle shaft so it doesn't work anymore. Thanks Delta.

All of my fish products made it (thankfully). I dreaded the thought of opening the bag to a barf-like buffet of mackerel bits, sardines in mustard, fish pudding, and shrimp paste lining the inside of the suitcase. I think there was a happy hippo casualty, though.
