Return of the luggage.

[fbhjr]

I called Are Lingus about my luggage this morning at the appointed time and number.
I left a voice mail. I explained I needed to come to Boston to get the luggage so I could get my keys and car.
I called again and left another voice mail. I repeated everything.
Then, they left me one when I was in a meeting. They confirmed all I had said.
I left them one when I got the message. Confirmed their conformation, and repeated my instructions.
They left me one when I was in another meeting saying they would get there this afternoon.
I left them one saying I’d be there in Boston to get it.

I left work early and drove to Boston. I returned the rental car and went to the terminal.
No one was at the luggage station. So, I called.
"We have you’re luggage, we’re going to ship it to you," the first person I actually spoke with about it that day said.
"No, you’re not," I said. "I’m here in Terminal E to get it as I have said many times in many messages today."
"You’re here?"
"Yes. Where is my luggage."
There was a pause.
"Go to the check in counter," he finally said.

I went there. The same woman who took our information about the luggage was working behind the counter.
She looked at me.
"You’re here for missing luggage. Mr. Hunt, right?"
"Correct."
"I’m psychic that way," she said.
"And, I left you four messages about it today."
"I’ll have someone bring out your luggage."

And, only a few minutes later, someone did.

I got my keys out of the case, got my car out of the garage and got home and unlocked the doors.
Yay.

So, why did it get lost?

glad you were able to get your luggage back...and your car

[mamculuna.livejournal.com]

That should have been a comedy routine, not real life. How nice, though, that they hadn't already sent it to you, since they obviously weren't paying attention to your messages...

[spaciireth.livejournal.com]

I honestly can't decide which of those to vote for. Can I tick them all?

Glad you got everything back in the end!

[fbhjr.livejournal.com]

It is set up so you can click more than one...

[spaciireth.livejournal.com]

I know, I just felt like madly ticking all of them was maybe a bit excessive.

[fbhjr.livejournal.com]

I would never think that.

If I don't want folks to pick more than one, I use the other kind of button.

Yay for gettin' your shit back! ;)

glad you got them back, and rather quickly

[yesididit2.livejournal.com]

glad you got that sorted out!

I wondered when you said your keys were in your luggage how you were going to get your car. You didn't mention the rental over on FB.

Man, I would definitely try to bill the airlines for the rental car and the locksmith. Can't hurt to ask.

So happy you got everything back. =)

Phew! I'm so glad that you got your luggage back relatively easily.

what a mess, but at least you have it back and you can get into your car and home. Now never ever put your keys there again!!
