So we've made it across to Australia here...we fly to Bali tomorrow midday. We're staying one night at a hostel here in Sydney, nice to sleep in a real bed and have a real shower after how many hours of planes and trains (no automobiles yet.)
The whole not working thing is weird to adjust to, it is still a welcome change, but lately I have the occasional dream where I show up at work and they are like "Where have you been?" "You didnt even call in sick or anything and you've been gone for like 2 weeks... ". I just tell them "Don't worry about it", and play it cool, although i know in my head (in my dream) that I actually havent showed up in like two weeks and someone is going to get me for it, I sometimes say "I was just cleaning underneath my desk, so you didnt see me...or...I was working off site, at the Repair shop, ya know?"
Here's the thing though, the Airline has misplaced our bags, throwing a total loop into the equation. I just got a call a few minutes ago and they have located ONE of the TWO bags, its in Melbourne. Fancy that, eh? At least its in the right country, on the proper side of the ocean. I'm hoping the other is found before we have to go to Bali, or else there might be a slight extension to the Sydney "layover" of our trip until Quantas locates our baggage. Quantas will compensate us for any fees due to changing our flight to Bali as well as Hotel Stays in Bali, and so if the bag is found in say...3 days, this could all work in a little extra spending funds for Kate and I...although I would rather just find our bags and be able to stick to the original plan.
I want to write about our last week in Ontario, because it was a lot of fun, but I am getting kicked off this PC right now. I'll update it soon enough. Bye for now everyone. Don't worry about my luggage situation, heck, Im not.

I once flew to Victoria where one arrives in Sydney on Vanc. Island. Out luggage went to Sydney, Australia and we didn't get the luggage for two weeks. My ex had to go to a big party in jeans. Just one of those things.
ReplyDeleteIt taught me that I should keep my swim suit and a few other important things in carry-on.
Hope this doesn't happen too often for you. Have a great time....
