G'day Bob … very witty indeed Bob. I gather this works both way. To your destination or to never be seen again - thanks again Bob - Lindsay

oh dear, that is something I dread Bob - a dear friend gave me luggage labels for gifts so hopefully it will never happen to me. Seasons greetings my friend:-) hugs Jan xx

I hope not. We will be going back to Wilmington, NC from San Diego, CA. Had been seeing our Son Shawn and grandsons. So how is retired life? Mine is great.

Jim: Great to hear from you! Hope your bags get on the plane with you! I've been retired about 20 years now and there is nothing like it. Glad you are enjoying yours. I was chatting with my 3 oldest grand kids & hearing the way work situations have changed & I'm glad I'm out of the work force! Hope you had a glorious Christmas Season with your family - I sure did. Keep in touch - Bob

Very original & funny. This is why I don't travel.

Thank you, Ilene. See my comments below to Tom re my experiences with lost bags! We had our family Christmas get together at my house Sun 22 Dec. I always get party trays and my 2 daughters bring in tons of goodies. Great to have kids, grandkids and greats here. Hope your holidays are going splendidly. I am enjoying your poems. Bob

Haha, haven't lost any yet Robert but once in the canaries my case came off the carousel and I think a tank had gone over it. Merry Christmas to you. Tom

Glad you enjoyed, Tom. When in the AF on a trip to Okinawa they lost my bag and 30 years later I haven't seen it. Also on a cruise my bag didn't show up till about 2 days later - talk about a sinking feeling! Hope you are enjoying a Merry Olde Christmas with your family - Bob
