Back in Seattle finally. I had a great trip to Germany but the ride home wasn't so great. All it takes is a couple little magnifications in flight delays for everything to go wrong. All times in PST:

• 9PM Thursday - Wake up, quick shower.
• 10PM Thursday (7AM Dresden) - Train from Dresden to Berlin
• 1AM Friday (11AM Berlin) - Flight from Berlin to London.
  Flight is delayed over 1 hour.
• 5AM Friday (1PM London) - Flight from London to Vancouver.
  The flight from Seattle to London was sold out so I decided to fly through Vancouver instead. Since the flight from Berlin was so late my bags didn't make the connection. This flight was over 45 minutes delayed.
• 3:30 PM Friday - Arrive in Vancouver.
  We're an hour late due to headwinds. Vancouver is a tricky airport. To get your bags to America you have to clear customs, collect your bag, and re-check it. Since I don't know my bag is still in London I wait to collect my bag. After half an hour I go to the baggage desk and they politely explain that my bag is still in London. They also explain that I'm going to miss my connection to Seattle and rebook me on the 9PM flight to Seattle.
• 9 PM Friday - Depart for Seattle.
  After over 5 hours in the Vancouver airport I get on a flight to Seattle and arrive home at 11PM
• Sunday - Bag Still Missing.
  I get an email message from Bryan Waite, who lives in Yakima, explaining that my bag has arrived at his house.

At a certain point it's just funny, not tragic.
