Lost Luggage
Quick turnaround from Colombia. Now in Vienna, Austria. Flew Alitalia to Vienna via Milan. Originally scheduled for the 5:40pm on KLM to Vienna with a five hour layover in Amsterdam. But due to Mother's Day traffic on the Van Wyck, got there late and the flight was closed.
So KLM put me on Alitalia. Had to switch from Terminal 4 to Terminal 1. Plenty of time to check my bag. Arrived in Milan, connected to Vienna and upon arrival no black Tumi duffle bag on the carousel.
So now I'm on the hunt with Alitalia for my missing bag. Luckily, I carried on all my electronics, computer, digital still camera, and video camera. Tripod is in the lost bag.
So far, nothing from Alitalia. They haven't even located it yet. They say it takes 24 hours to know something of its whereabouts.
I'm going to sleep on it for now.
