What to do if your bag doesn't show up in England and it looks like it might be gone forever.
1. Be resourceful!!
2. Borrow from your gracious teammates.
3. Re-use clothing for as long as possible and try to keep it “fresh”.
4. Rinsing your jersey in the sink is only good for a few days.
5. Blue airline socks make great washclothes.
6. Cheap boy underwear from the groccery store fits way better than the cheap girl underwear.
7. Get your wallet stolen three days before leaving the country and bring and emergency credit card that is not accepted abroad. This way teammates have to buy you everything. Thanks for the undies friends!
8. Everytime you talk to someone in the baggage department get their name and keep asking for them. If they get one hundred messages from you they might get up from the computer and actually look in the lost baggage room. I am hoping this will work.

DO you remember when Chobot lost her bag in Little Rock? and how they could not locate it? And then when we were checking in to leave at the airport, I walked into a little back room and "miraculously" found the bag being used as a foot rest by one of the baggage handlers. "Philly" definitely came out that day. But it is funny now. I hope they find it before the end of World Cup. Good luck to all and kick some ass. I believe in you and all of the rest of you.
ReplyDeleteGo to stores like the GAP - they are all over - and buy clothes. Return them before you go home.
ReplyDeleteIf you're taking more than you can carry on, you are packing too much for a rugby tour! Plus, pack stuff you can live without and after they are not 'fresh', leave them behind or trade them to a local!
