Luggage

As I returned from Glasgow to Copenhagen last night, one of the worst luggage incidents happened to me. When I picked up my suitcase, also called the beautybox, from the conveyer belt, it was open but as far as I could tell from the top of my head, all the lose things were still inside. It has happened to me before, which is why I bought another bigger, more soft suitcase, that I rarely use but instead still use this little handy Paris bought suitcase, which does not hold more than one set of proceedings... (I know I am going to get certain sarcastic comments from certain friends now). It was not before I got home, had unpacked and was sitting comfortably checking all my unchecked-for-two-weeks-email that I realized what was missing: my Vaio laptop charger! In my case it is THE worst thing to miss for several reasons: 1. I need to work and had planned to do this at the coffee shop all weekend, now I would have to go into the boring empty office. 2. Since Vaios are not sold in Denmark the process of getting a new charger is rather difficult. I would have to buy one online (which will be a problem, because for some reason my American credit/debit card is not working despite having plenty of money on it, and online stores generally do not take foreign credit cards) and have it sent to Copenhagen or have some merciful soul somewhere in a Vaio country buy one for me and send it here. Both processes something that could take over a week. After hours of frustration and calling the airport with no result ('but we will fill in a form for insurance purposes'... I don't care, I just want my charger, it is not like it is a million dollars worth, just my sanity), I realized that a friend of mine who happens to come to Copenhagen on Monday also has a Vaio and he has been so kind as to bring his charger. How lucky am I?
