Here it comes, and there it went...

I received an update today on my missing luggage. It left Grand Rapids, stopped by DC, and then went to Miami. Perhaps the weather in Miami was more agreeable to my luggage, or perhaps it was just in the mood for Cuban cuisine. It then proceeded to turn around and come back to Detroit, where someone at the Northwest Luggage Service Office set it aside and called me about it. Hopefully, the luggage will make it back to DC, and then back to my apartment. At the rate that it is going, I think my luggage should start accumulating frequent flyer miles.

I think the whole situation is terribly funny. In today's era of barcode readers and tracking databases, I have no idea how my luggage keeps making it to every destination except where it is supposed to go. As long as it finally makes its way home, I'll be happy, but I don't have much confidence that will happen soon.
