Luggageo
I assumed it would happen
sooner or later; it's like a hang nail
? anyone with fingers is bound to
get one at some point in time. I,
along with countless other victims
throughout history, joined the
ranks of "seasoned travelers." I
experienced lost baggage.
Theoretically I should hf
grateful to the airline on which 1
was traveling (which shall be
nameless, but which does not
service the Western United States)
for showing my paltry two suitcases
a good time ? they saw more
sights on their excursion than I did.
Had I known in advance that my
luggage was going to Syracuse I
would have equipped it with a
camera and a pair of thermal
underwear so it could enjoy itself
and come back with lots of snapshots.
However, grateful did not
describe my state of mind at the
time of the incident. After watching
the luggage carousel go
around for a solid hour, hoping
against hope for some sign of my
Carry-Tote and matching
simulated leather soft-side suitcase,
my friends finally dragged
me to the information desk. In my
catatonic stupor all I could do was
scream, "I don't care about the $80
boots in the suitcase ? just give
me back my BufPuf!" and mindlessly
wave the two forlorn
baggage claim stubs I gripped in
my hand.
The little man behind the desk
was very nice (why shouldn't he
have been? Ho had a change of
clothes waiting or him at home).
He gave me a courtesy toiletry kit
which included a toothbrush,
toothpaste, sho' er cap, Woolite,
deodorant and ? nb and promised
to deliver my suitcases as soon as
they arrived in the morning. I
grudgingly to',; his meager sub- ]
stitute for my shampoo, cream .
rinse, Neutragena, heat curlers,
clothes, contact lenses receptacles,
and scalp massager that
was at that time about 3,500 teet

mumbled something about
organizing an execution at sun-up.
My luggage showed up thirty-six
hours later and not a minute too
soon. By that time I was seriously
thinking of using a scouring pad in
place of my lost BufPuf and
disinfecting my blurry contacts by
subjecting them to twenty minutes
in the oven on Radiant Bake. As
soon as my bags arrived, I lunged
for the bathroom. Four hours later
I emerged with a fresh outlook and
a fresh outfit.
I don't really blame anyone
entity for the ordeal through which
I was forced to suffer: I realize it
happens all the time and there is
nothing anyone can really do about
it. But I have learned a very
valuable lesson; the next time I
decide to take a trip, I'm going to
let the airline plan my itinerary. I
don't care where I go as long as it's
the same place they plan to send
my luggage.
