Yeah, I went through that ordeal in 2005, when my bags arrived 3 days later and I'd had 5 presentations by then! Only $50.00 approved for emergency spending! It's a shame! I thank God that I didn't cancel any engagements, and was able to borrow a couple outfits to help the emergency! - Talk about surprises in life

Good thing I had my soundtracks, Bible and other most important items in my carry-on bag, but still lost things that are valuable for different reasons.
