Default Off to a bad start

Well, today marks the worst day yet! I am running on 2 hours of sleep in 2 days, and I find out when I get to San Bernadino that my luggage containing clothing and a bunch of other things was lost somewhere between South Central Terminal and Riverside!

Luckily, I have my laptop, my CPAP, my sleeping bag, and my Inverter...

On the brighter side, I am here, and can now get some sleep eventually :wink:

I take it you were flying? Perhaps you can find a WalMart or KMart and pick up a couple of things to get you by until your things are found. It could always be worst.

Did you file a claim with the airlines? They should give you either a voucher, check or cash to get you clothing, toothbruch, etc until your luggage does show up.

I once was going to a wedding, arrived in Vegas with no luggage and was given $500 cash to buy a suit for the wedding.

No, I took a bus in. I am going to be a wart on their arse until they find my friggen luggage! It is not all bad, my wife and son are coming to see me while I am here, and she's got some mula if I need to get some clothing.

After getting a good nights rest, I feel much better. I am not going to stress about the luggage as 90% of what is important made it all the way!
