I seem to have a knack for baggage adventures. This time my suitcase made it to the conveyor belt in the baggage claim area, but another passenger accidentally grabbed it, and all my socks and various toothbrushes suddenly left the airport without me.

Within a day, the Turkish folks managed to track down my stuff and really insisted I come pick it up from the airport myself. In the end, they said they'd deliver everything to me sometime between 10 AM and 2 AM. Thank goodness it's not a weekday delivery window.

So anyway, hello again, Istanbul!
