Airports Suck

In a recent trip, Elaina and I decided NOT to check our bags. Waiting at the carousel for your luggage--with the constant fear that your bags may not have made it--was not something we wanted to put up with. So we packed modestly and carried our bags with us everywhere. That is, until our connection flight was "too full" for us to carry our luggage aboard. We were forced to check the bags right before hopping on the plane.

When we got to our destination, we had to wait for our bags at the baggage claim, which was pretty annoying.

The MOST annoying part is that the next day I reached into my bag to pull out our digital camera and noticed it wasn't in the front pocket where I packed it. In fact, neither was my MP3 player that Elaina got me for my birthday. Holy shit I was mad. Our $300 digital camera and $100 MP3 player were STOLEN somewhere between where the bags are thrown into the plane, and when they are taken out.

We went to the Delta office and told the lady behind the counter what had happened. She said they are not responsible for any stolen goods under any circumstances, and that we were completely out of luck. NO WONDER some sketchy asshole stole our equipment--there are no rules in place to reprimand him if he does.

Lesson learned: don't check your luggage. If you do, carry your expensive items on you at all times. Oh yeah, and don't fly Delta.

I scored Lara Croft. Does that make me gay?

Elaina scored Captain Jack Sparrow. Does that make her gay?

Anyway, I wanna switch.
