My journey to America was quite interesting. I started at 2 am to do my last minute packing and getting into the car to travel to the airport. I found the guarded parking lot and then went to go check in. As I was waiting, I was surprised by my neighbor coming up to me and saying that she was on the same flight! We had great fun chatting! She went her way in Frankfurt and I went mine. On my Frankfurt to Detroit leg of the trip, I was sitting next to a woman who I thought wanted both seats so she SPREAD OUT! I was pushed against the window and the man in front of me decided that his seat needed to be fully reclined. I am SO glad that I am not claustrophobic! I got into Detroit and went through immigration. The man was very efficient but I could tell was having a bad day. He was over checking EVERYONE. I only had 1 hour to get to my next flight and I still had to get to customs and re-check my baggage. I searched for 20 minutes and could not find my bag. The Lufthansa rep told me to just go on and the bag should follow. So I did. It took me 30 minutes to find out where to go to get to the next plane and I just made my flight! Whew! When I got to Denver my bag was NOT waiting for me. I filed a claim and smiled and said "Have a nice day!"
It is no day FOUR and I still have not received my bag! They have NO idea where it is! I had to go and purchase everything besides my make-up and electronics. I don't even have a wedding gift now! AHHHHHHH!
So my bag is in LUGGAGE PURGATORY! HELP!
If this entry makes no sense. . . well it is due to luggage lost stress! I wonder if there is a support group for that?

Oh Alice, how frustrating. Do you have your luggage yet? I pray that you do since that post is several days old. I remember a time when Dave went for a week to be at a special event where he needed special clothes that we bought in advance...and he didn't get his bag until he got back home a week later! AARRGH!! I do hope your bag shows us soon if it hasn't already. Love, Connie
