She's Home!!!
I will keep up the good vibes for your luggage. It amazes me that airlines
can get away with such gross inefficiency and incompetence. They have been doing this for how long??? My husband's suitcase was lost by TWA. Never saw it again and they were not the least bit helpful or apologetic. KathyH At least you have DD, the important thing. "Kathy N-V" wrote in message .com... Quick Version: DD is home, safe and sound, and very happy to be with her parents, who are equally happy to have her home. Weather, airlines and everything else conspired to delay the poor kid's arrival by over five hours, and her luggage is still heaven-knows-where. My mother (also minus luggage) was deposited at her front door at about 10 p.m., and not even tossed from a moving vehicle. (An amazing display of personal control on DH's part) We got home at about 11:00 p.m., snuggled our kid for a little while, and then tucked her exhausted self into bed. At some point, I'll have to get on the phone and see if the luggage can be found. (I sure hope so -- her whole back to school wardrobe is in there) Upshot: DD will _never_ again travel with my mother, even if it's across the street. We (DH, DD and me) will never again consider traveling with US Air for an international flight - because they just don't get it. To go to Germany, it's well worth the small premium to fly Lufthansa, who might not give the warm and fuzzies, but they always do their job superbly. (BTW, Virgin Atlantic is an incredible airline, and we'd use them to go to Germany, if they offered nonstop service from Boston. That's who we use to go to Britain) Happily, everyone is home and safe, and we can have plenty of time to catch up on things in the next few days. Thank you all for the support and good vibes.

Kathy,
Glad to know she's home safe! Good luck with the luggage! I remember, when I was in high school, the airline losing our luggage when we went out west to visit family. Fortunately, it was delivered to us the next day. I remember waiting on my mother to deal with the customer service people, and she came back to us and said, "You think we're upset, see that lady over there? They lost her dog!!" -- Jerri www.beadbimbo.com |

"You think we're upset, see that lady over
there? They lost her dog!!" Oh god, I would die. I could never put my dog in cargo, like they make you if the dog is over a certain size.
