Well it's now Sunday afternoon and my bag is still in Dussledorf. It seems that there's but a single airline flying only 2 or 3 flights a day from Dussledorf to Stuttgart and the plane is so small that they can only put on 2 or 3 extra bags per flight and so it often takes 2 or 3 days to catch-up with the backlog. And adding to the problem is that there are no stores open on Sunday so I can't even buy extra cloths until Monday morning. The hotel was able to supply some toiletries so at least I can stay clean, but I've only got one pair of pants, shirt and socks (I do have extra underwear as I carry a 'spare' in my briefcase for emergencies).

I'm getting a bit old for this sort of stuff and that retirement date is starting to look more attractive all the time.

Well I made it to Stuttgart. Too bad my luggage is still in Dussledorf.

Our flight from the states was late and we had to run to catch the plane to Stuttgart but apparently no one was running with our bags (there were 3 passengers making the Stuttgart connection and none of us got our luggage). There's another flight coming in later this afternoon (it's 20 minutes after noon local time) so they're supposed to forward the bags to my hotel so it shouldn't be too much of a problem.
