When we were instructed to leave our bags at the gate because the overhead bins were full, Steve quipped, "Make sure these bags say Rome, not Rio!" We arrived at the baggage claim to find all four bags lost. We stopped at H&M for the essentials and were on our way. Finally three of our bags made it to Italy. But Steve's could have taken a detour anywhere, even Rio. His arrived just in time to put it back on the plane for Steve's return trip to the United States.

Rio?

Glad you guys made it! Also glad that everybody is smiling after the bags issue.
After hearing about your bags being lost, Dad had us completely repack our suitcases so all of our beloved Asian souvenirs (including the Thai monk's begging bowl)were in carry-ons. Then, we came more than two hours early to the airport to make sure we were at the front of the line to get on the plane and reserve those overhead bins. We were taking no chances... I'm so glad Steve was able to spend that first week with you. He looks like he's having a great time at H&M, despite the bags fiasco. Love, Mom
