      Apparently resolved.

            I’m sitting in Newark airport, which I generally try to avoid, but United has a nonstop to Naples and no one else does.

            This is the same United that didn’t deliver my bag coming back from Munich. Still missing since 8/26.

            I’ve never outright lost a bag before. They always got them to me in a day or three on the few times I lost one.

            This could be a first.

            By the way I’m not checking a bag today. I packed light.

            I have been lucky. In all my travels, I have only had a bag delayed one time, and it was delivered the next day.

            I have purchased Air Tags and put one of those in my check suitcase when I travel now. I think it would be helpful if ever the bag goes missing.

              I did too, after that loss. I carried the bag on the flight, and still used an AirTag. That’s how traumatized I am. Lol

                I just got a note from Lufthansa, they found my bag and are forwarding it to Newark!

                  I caught that email as I take a quick stop for lunch - in Pompei. Can’t complain about my day.

                        A great lifetime friend married a Neapolitan girl while n the Navy. She's a delight and can cook up a storm.

                        So, are you biking or driving?

                          Bike. My big cape cod event is 2 weeks from Friday, so it’s an inconvenient time to be traveling for a week

                                          That's turning out to be a great gig for you, in pretty much every way. I'm glad.
