Travels

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.

Resolved?

[jon-nyc]

Apparently resolved.

Maybe the gods have decided I’ve had enough travel nightmares in the past three weeks

The gods - the original schadenfreude.

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.

[jon-nyc]

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!

[jon-nyc]

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

Nice, simple margarita pizza. I have another 20mi to ride afterwards

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?

[jon-nyc]

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

[Mik]

With girlfriend?

Nah, I think he's riding a one-seater.

No this is foundation stuff. A liver conference here tomorrow and Friday, and the European Respiratory Society’s annual conference in Milan Friday-Tuesday

[Horace]

That is an excellent looking pizza.

[jon-nyc]

Yeah, it’s like they brought in some New Yorkers to show them how to make them right.

[Copper]

Good looking pizza
