| Ah, the woes of traveling |

You know, they say to pack some toiletries and a change of clothes on your carry on if you're going to fly. I don't think I've ever done that, but it sure is a good idea in case anything happens. One of my friends just got to Vegas for CES (*sniff* I am not there), and the airline lost his luggage. The airline said they'd cover the cost of use of some of his stuff. Now this friend of mine...is very frugal..nah, cheap - even though he likes pricey stuff. He was complaining about having to pay $600 for car repairs (I guess I would, too...but I wouldn't go on about it) last week. So, he's bought a few things: "boxers, socks, and running gear (including shoes)". There is a 5 km run on Saturday he was planning on doing. I think if I were him, I would not have bought the shoes because I probably wouldn't get reimbursed for them, and 2 days is not really enough time to get used to a pair of shoes to run in a race. And to top it off, he's not there for the sake of racing...He's there to cover the convention. Sucks that his luggage got lost, though! I was at CES last year with this friend. I had fun, but I also got sick of sick of him because he was like my shadow!! Ugh, and he was all touchy-feely. At least he came to his senses after we got back. He seems to irritate me after some conversing these days. |

I always try to stuff all of my things into a carry on that way I don't have to worry about them loosing anything....but the times that I have had to check stuff, I have been lucky enough to have it waiting for me on that magic luggage thingy.......just once I wanna ride on one of those!
