ScubaBoard Invasion Central 2023 Roatan

Safe and sound at home after 10 flight delays, and my gear bag made it to me. Good times on the trip. Happy to have met and dive with some of the OGs

Well our bags still have not made it to us here. Not too surprising given the chaos in Houston last night. But what is surprising and concerning is the airline hasn't added any tracking information since arrival in Houston.

Finally home at 1PM today, with less than 4 hours rest before the final 3 hour drive north on the NY State Thruway.

Our Gear, well, not so lucky there. All 4 checked bags disappeared after we hit Huston, with no hits on UA tracking since @4:15 yesterday.

It was an awesome trip, and great to meet and dive with a great variety of divers of all ages, stripes and tastes and styles! Great too, to be home again, and honestly, it is also really a relief to get the chance to drink a real beer again, and spend some time with my Plott Hound pup, Pepper!

The chaos in Huston barely held a flickering candle to that which greeted us in Newark.
While we were not alone in the loss of our gear bags, it is hardly any consolation knowing that literally many hundreds and hundreds of other travelers in exactly the same boat at 2 AM this morning.
I believe that Cardzard called the airlines terrorists at both the opening and closing ceremonies, and it becomes harder and harder to disagree with his observation.

I put AirTags in all of my bags to help track them if this were to happen - good luck!

We had 8 air tags active for our trip; 1 in each checked bag and carry on bag.

When I get an iPhone soon for a new job, I'm going to get the AirTags myself.

For those with Android, this might be even a better solution than the Apple system - assuming it comes later this year:

Our bags arrived just now. 36 hours after us but they're here.
