A while ago I read a
joke in a magazine, where they discovered that the ring around Saturn was
really all the world's lost airline luggage! It might not be very scientific,
but I am quite certain it is true!
As an avid traveller, I spend a lot of
time in airports. It may be that I am bored or sleep deprived, but while
waiting for my luggage to arrive on the conveyor belt, I ask myself a lot of
questions, like: Who are the people whose suitcases come out firsts? In 30
years that has never happened to me. Statistically it should have, but it
hasn't.
As romantic as a holiday sounds
afterwards, the reality while you travel, is to just hold on to your luggage
and hope that it doesn't end up in the Bermuda triangle or space! More often
than not your luggage and and you will not arrive at the same destination, at
the same time, at the correct terminal, in tact.
Maybe luggage has an interesting life
of their own. My parents went to Canada, their luggage went to China. I went to
America, my luggage took a vacation of their own and only showed up a
week later. My brother flew from South Africa to Switzerland, and when he got
his suitcase, his brand new sneakers was stolen and neatly replaced with a
second-hand pair from the South African luggage sorter - no surprises there!
That's the luggage we have located, but
what about the luggage we never recovered?
Are they with all the single missing
socks out there?
