Luggage Tags

[danalwyn]

I went on a trip recently (one of the many reasons why I haven't exactly been around), and like most lazy people I discovered that the luggage tags that the airline had put on my suitcase the last time I flew were still on my suitcase when I dragged it out of the closet. Problem was that, despite living in San Jose, I swear I've never flown out of (or into) San Jose International Airport before. Except that my luggage had a big SJC tag on it.

So either my memory is failing or someone's been stealing my luggage and then returning it after they do a trip or two. Neither of these possibilities makes me feel that good. Maybe I'm just really, really forgetful. It would explain some things.

Now there's a delightful notion. I wonder where my luggage could have gone without me? I hope it was nice! Whoever used yours should at least have left you souvenir or two! :D

Actually, I suspect your tags might be because the flight was a connector. I.e. you (and your baggage) did not fly through that airport, but the plane it was one connected there at some point in the journey when you were on it, and so they used those tags.

It would be fairly strange for that to happen, because usually I'm on direct flights. Besides, they would have had to fly me to the airport in San Jose, and then onto San Francisco, which doesn't make any sense on any map (it's faster to ship it to SFO by truck than by plane).

I think my memory is probably gone.
