Oh my!!! THAT is why your luggage was stolen, my friend. “I also had 8lbs of Bit O’ Honey in the bag, but that’s another story.”

Now we need a fashion show of your new UK look.. I totally agree on the over packing. I've gotten good at limiting myself to max of 2 pairs of shoes, but I bring too much other stuff and usually regret it. Now you're going to be one of us, never check a bag folks. American lost my bags on the way to Brazil once and I've almost never checked a bag since...they're not to be trusted! But I got my bag back in a day, nothing close to your saga. Welcome back!

Love the reviews of various airport food. Also, I can absolutely confirm that Italian trains are ridiculously slow. I caught one in Switzerland, and after a week of Swiss efficiency, the "relaxed" nature of how the Italians run things was quite a shock. It would be charming if you didn't miss your plane as a result! Also regarding #8: I totally agree that we all overpack, and we don't realize it until we're stuck without -- and yet we survive, often quite comfortably. And I also had my bags miss a flight back from Europe, so I was able to cruise home with only a shoulder bag and then have the airline deliver my bag directly to my apartment. Convenient!

Unbelievable. Hopefully you will get your suitcase soon. And I hope you got to enjoy your time at CHI and Italy despite the madness. Talk to you soon!
