So it was a mess! P

They accidentally shipped my bag to Mexico. P

They found it though, right? P

I had to make so many phone calls and had to check the lost and found at the airport daily. P

You must have been really angry! P

Were you able to get it returned? P

It was stressful, but I finally recovered it and the airport did not even reimburse me for their mistake. P
