<p>Well, I finally managed to get a human being to answer the phone at the delayed /lost baggage office and sweet-talked the name of the courrier service out of him. Had a nice chat with “Jerome” who said we “might” get the bags by MIDNIGHT! I told him I have to wash everythignin those duffels and the boys are leaving early tomorrow (which is true) and that there’d be a good tip in it for the delivery guy if he could get here sooner. The delivery guy has the same first name as one of my s’s. Jerome said he’d call him and call me back. That was 15 minutes ago… Still nothing. Sigh.</p>
<p>MOWC- Hope he is safe. </p>

Your strategy is a good one. But for use, going skiing meand travelling 2/3 across country, so we get in as much as we can. Since it was supposed to be a family trip, if DH and I had gone, we’d have spent less time on the mtn-- would have taken more breaks and taken a “real” lunch (not granola bars on the chair lift as they did). For me, it taked 3 days to get my “ski legs” on. I am usually better the second half of the trip.
<strong><em>UPDATE</em></strong> WOO HOO (sorta). Jerome just called-- the driver will make our stop the next stop. <em>BUT</em> he is currently totally on the other side of town, probably 45-60 min away (it is rainy and nasty out there). I told him I will make it worth his while. How much should I tip him for 2 big duffels?</p>
