Day 9 started out with a close call. I almost reached for my pipe to relieve stress from the tumult of my son's arrival. He arrived but his bag didn't and as usual his phone was dead whilst he was travelling so I had no way to reach him across the customs barrier (he was flying from US to Canada). He didn't get a receipt with a file number so I couldn't look up the status of the bag online but at least he made a claim. I called the airline this morning to get the file number... and was on hold for a long time and got different computer messages when I called back to the same number but eventually reached a person who gave me different information about when the bag was last scanned than what my son got from the agent last night.


I was actually in tears last night that he walked out of there without any proof he had made a claim or the file number. Turns out they had emailed it to him but he didn't check his email until this afternoon...


well they found the bag and it will be delivered soon. Now i am dealing with the fact that my son's provincial insurance expired and his proof of citizenship is hopefully in a bag stored with a friend of a friend all the way across the country and there is no way to get

health insurance here without original proof of permission to reside in canada...


Arghh!
