Washington....and our luggage has already gone astray. I had expected this to happen, if it was going to happen, with Ethiopia Airlines somewhere between Addis Ababa and Nairobi, but apparently it's too much to expect United to carry it between two North American hubs without losing it.
We're getting conflicting stories here..... the call centre gal in Mumbai assures me that the missing bags have been located in the Dulles terminal and will be delivered to our room in the morning. She goes on to tell me to use the online tracker to get further updates - but then the website tells me that they are nowhere to be found. So which is it - is the call centre telling me what I want to hear in the Asian manner or are they just not updating the tracker website? Not reasssuring either way.
On the upside, we got upgraded from a compact car rental to a Caddy for $20 extra, and due to our late check in, a complimentary upgrade to a suite at our hotel because they've "run out of smaller units".
So, it's not an auspicious start to our trip in the old Roman augury sense of using the behaviour of winged beings to divine the future, but again it's a mixed message. Are we supposed to, like, not go on this trip but just stay in Washington? That would be a drag. With a gray sky leaking rain at 34F in DC, the weather's better in Canmore.
