1. Thank you all for your kind comments / feedback.
2.Hi Larrywilmot747: Everything I own in the world was in that suitcase. When I left my total global assets / equity / net worth amounted to $4,551. After the generosity of AC I am "under water" with a "negative net worth" / shareholders equity of ($3,383.56).
3. Hi Vulle: A 2 day delay in "both directions" is clear evidence that they must be screwed up. I think that having to pass US Customs raises the risks.
However I would much prefer a "delay' over a loss. No way will I ever risk connecting in Canada ever again, even if it's a free ticket.
Thanks again.
