I am finally here in Managua. One of my
worst nightmares came true on my way here, my
luggage is lost! They said to check back with
them Thursday afternoon. My students and I
are guest speakers tomorrow at The Ben Linder
House and I'll be in my grubs:)
While in Chicago, they were going to make me
check my portfolio with all the photos in
there and I was very adamant about not
checking any of my three carry-ons. Good
thing I didn't. I can't imagine the photos
for the exhibition being lost!
But tonight, I was blessed to have met a
lady here in the Quaker House who is giving
me her new Hanes undie (large), her green tee
shirt to sleep in and her turtle print pj
pants:) I joked with her that I'll post a
photo of her undie here and she thought it
would be fun! lol...I might just do that
tomorrow.

Oh my ... what a way to start your journey.
I wish you all the luck in the world, mon ami
... I can't wait to follow you through this
trip. Keep your humor about you, as I find
it is infectious in situations like these.
So healthy to laugh at life and the
curveballs it throws you. :)
take care :)

Retaining your composure & seeing the
humor in your predicament, augurs for

speak..

Uuuugh... I feel your pain. On the way back
from London, I had a three-day layover in
L.A. where I was to go to a wedding, and be a
second photographer... My suit, and my brand
new Monfrotto tripod and trigger ballhead
were in my luggage--which didn't make it. I
had bought the tripod in London, and overpaid
dearly for it in British pounds... I was more
sick about losing that than anything.
Luckily, 48 hours later, the night before the
wedding, everything arrived. I didn't want to
be part of the bridal procession (sponsor) in
stinky jeans and a t-shirt as it was my
nieces' wedding.
Crossing my fingers you'll get your stuff
too. Good luck down there Sam. Karma owes you
big for all that you do with the kids!!!
(Oooh, 1/50 sec. @ 100mm? Nice steady hands
at 2am.)

Large undies? Wouldn't that be a tent for
you? Sorry for your luggage (did you know
Shakespeare created that word?) but I'm glad
you didn't check your sense of humor!
Continued wishes for your success with kids
and the exhibition - and now I can add the
unusual wish for you to find tighter tighty
whities!
...smiles and giggles...

Oh geez Sam.
Last year we lost 5 pieces of luggage on our
way from Houston to Managua. 3 cases of
prescription glasses and 2 personal pieces.
Luckily the luggage all showed up, but just
two days before we flew back to Toronto.
The problem was at Houston where the stop
over was only 2 hours and somehow our luggage
didn't make the connection there.
Either way, I know you're going to be a huge
blessing... luggage or not!

Sam, sorry about the luggage, I have had mine

case it was stolen and never found, although
the thieves were caught. I await the shot of
the undies...lol, and you be safe my
