Traveling light

So I arrived to Toronto a couple of hours ago just to be informed that the airline didn’t put my luggage into the airplane, so it didn’t arrive with me. Great…

After writing the proper report and complaining at the baggage claim desk, everything I could get from the airline is that they located my things and are going to ship them in tomorrow’s flight, delivering them to where I’m staying, until Wednesday morning.

Excellent! No toothbrush, hairbrush, deodorant or clean underwear to change in a couple of days. Which makes me think about next travel buying cheap clothes on the road and disposing them after a couple of days of use so I don’t have to worry about carrying luggage at all. Very tempting idea…

Ok, seriously, what really concerns me aren’t the missing clothes, but the few climbing gear that I packed so I could use it at the very end of this trip. Perhaps I should also get a disposable set of Stoppers and Camalots while on the road? I don’t think so…
