Starting to wonder if I shouldn't be here in Boston (just teasing) but get this:

SLC airport: Waiting for Ry to park the car. I was sitting on my carry-on (it was vertical) when it slipped out from under me and I landed flat on my coccyx!!! Seriously ... I'm not sure which hurt worse, my tushie or my pride. SO EMBARRASSING!!!

SLC airport: Right when we were getting ready to enter the plane some lady came out and said, "Sorry, there is no more overhead storage, all bags much be checked in." ARE YOU KIDDING ME???

Boston Logan airport: Hallelujah ... our bags are here!! WAIT!!!! It's broken!!! STINK!!!! The pocket that contained all my socks, undies, belts, and swimsuit is torn and missing half its contents!!! "Sorry madam, there is nothing we can do. Just fill out this form and someone should get in touch with you within four weeks." THIS HAS GOT TO BE A JOKE!!!

Hotel: Whew ... we are finally here. I am going to kick off my shoes and sit here at this desk and check my email. OUCH!!! I just ran over my stinkin' big toe with this heavy chair and now it is bleeding!!!!

SIGH ... LAUGH ... I deserve to get two jackets at the Expo! Done deal!!! :) :) :) Bring it!!!

Teena, Teena, Teena...Congrats on making it in one piece!!! LOL. What a rotten start to your trip. Geez, if I had that much bad luck, I wouldn't even leave the hotel room until race morning.

Are you certain it wasn't your tushie that broke the luggage? More seriously, I hope you have a terrific experience at Boston's.
