| I got into Ottawa yesterday. Flew Westjet from Toronto to Ottawa. Waited till all the bags had come through. Mine didn't. The guy at the baggage desk checked the bag tag, and said that there were no notes about it in the system, but that it might show up in one of the other flights coming through. He called me back later last night to say that all flights from Toronto had come in, and my bag wasn't on any of them. He said that someone would call me in the morning to give me the latest status. At around noon today, I got a call telling me that my bag was last seen checking out the Eiffel tower à Paris. How it got there, they had no idea, because Westjet doesn't fly anywhere out of Canada. Most likely some other airline picked up my bag and took it along with them. Well, I'm a seasoned lost baggage traveller, so I know to carry spare underwear in my hand baggage, and the conference provided me with two T-shirts, so I'm okay for now. Westjet says that my bag should be here sometime tonight, so waiting for it. The conference has been good so far. We went on a boat cruise last night down the Rideau. Earlier in the evening, I met with the Ottawa CouchSurfing community for Ice Tea at Bubblicity. They are just so much fun and so welcoming that I didn't feel out of place at all. This evening ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small} say_yes04 and I met with the group again at a Somali restaurant called Sambuza at Gladstone Ave. Followed that up with drinks at Friday's with a bunch of conference attendees, and then got back to the hotel. | ||||||||
