thrills, spills, and wandering luggage

[anotheranon]

It's been an eventful holiday season.

I was in Atlanta for Christmas not only for the first time since I moved here, but for the first white Christmas in GA in over 120 years.

I got to see my family, in-laws, and extended in-law family for wonderful times by firesides and at tables :) Much conversation and observation was had.

In Gatlinburg (more record lows/snow) I had my first downhill skiing lesson and realized I might be able to learn the sport given a (much) less crowded bunny slope. Also learned I can fall intelligently when I have to. This is perhaps worth a post of its own.

New Year's was spent at the airport luggage carousel, only to discover that my bag (with most of my good casual clothes + Christmas gifts) hadn't made the flight. Much online tracking and irritated calls to the airline later, I've learned that somehow it wound up in London (?!) and may not get back here until tomorrow night or Tuesday (!!) Also perhaps worth a post of it's own but not the fun, exciting kind :/

I've been tweeting madly but not really able to read LJ. If I missed something crucial, point me at it.

LOL! Your luggage is having more fun than you are!!!!

I was in Atlanta airport on Wednesday for about two hours. It's not a bad place to kill time in between flights.

London?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!? That's like... ridiculous!!!

That's what I said! That's what one of the airline baggage people said when I called for a status update!

What's even more ridiculous is that people are having trouble getting to Europe right now, but my bag gets a free pass.

Welcome home!

London, England or London, Ontario? (just 'cause the latter, not being overseas, would make a teensy bit more sense ... but only a teensy bit)

Preview animation for "The Goon" and the usual holiday/goofing off stuff in my LJ neighbourhood. New booklist up at catdesk that includes some titles in your interests zone.

Once luggage comes home, check base for hundreds of tiny feet ... those models tend to be a little too adventurous ... ;-)

Forgot until this morning ... latest "Firefly" authentic knitting geekiness also got posted in my LJ over the holidays

Bleh, I hate when luggage don't end up on the same aircraft as oneself, I always keep fretting about it until I get the bag back. Here's to you getting a swift return of your bag full of undamaged goods!
