Funny Travel Incidents: And then he lost his luggage..... again!

This is just a portion repeated from my previous description on the fun and travails of travel with an Avatar of Mr Bean. You may wish to read the full description at http://funnytravelincidents.blogspot.com/2011/12/funny-travel-incidents-indian-version.html


No wonder Mr P, a version of Mr Bean, was so worried about his luggage on the trip to Los Angeles from New Zealand. (Let me settle your doubts once again now,... the P is not short form for Pea! ). Losing bags and suitcases during travel was a regular habit of Mr P. There were many incidents when he had to take a taxi and chase a bus or train that had left with his luggage that he had blissfully forgotten while boarding off! One could forgive him for that. But walking off with somebody else's bags by mistake is something else again! Poor Mr P suffered much embarrassment as a consequence!


At the airports, the baggage collection points looked as though a tornado had been through there after Mr P had collected all his bags. He used to chase bag after bag that was not his on the conveyor belt, tripping over trolleys and other passengers. Mr P got into so much trouble that he travelled with big bright yellow ribbons attached to the handles of his bags to help him identify his luggage easily. Mr P had drummed it into his head that he would only collect bags with the yellow ribbons.They were indeed an eyesore!


But even with all this careful tagging and ribboning up, he still managed to lose his luggage. Somehow his checked in bags lost the identifying ribbons. It could be that Mr P had only stuck those ribbon bows onto the suitcase handles with Blu-Tack. Or someone must have disliked them too much!


And Mr P came out of the airport with an empty trolley! Remember?.. He was not supposed to pick up the bags without the ribbons!
