Disappering bags

According to new statistics, more checked in bags than ever disappear when flying (one sure wonder where they all end up?). On my trip to Croatia I didn't dare take any chances - a lost bag would be way too traumatic during my few days stay - and worked hard on being able to travel with only hand luggage. Since I had to bring my computer and wanted to bring my SLR and had both formal sessions and very informal, packing was a challenge...

Especially the toiletry bag. It had to be squeezed into a quart size ziploc bag, each item less than 3 oz...

But I made it. And not once did I have to argue to bring my carry-on on wheels and my computer backpack.

The only annoying incident was having to give up my crazily expensive bottle of water I bought at the Frankfurt airport (after passing security) to drink during my 11,5 hour long trip when suddenly an unknown second security line showed up before the gate.

Att väskor kommer bort är inte kul. När vi åkte hem från Sverige kom våra väskor bort men som tur var fick vi dem åter efter 2 dagar. Jag tyckte det var jobbigt iallfall för jag var lite skraj att de skulle vara borta för alltid med allt jag hade handlat på mig i Sverige. För korta turer på endast några dagar håller jag med dig om att man ska försöka att bara klara sig med handbagaget. Skönt att du är hemma igen Jacal.

You sure it wasn't all those bars of Marabou you needed space for that was the problem?!
The taking of your water seems petty to me. While they're doing all these daft things they're going to miss the real trouble makers!
