Last piece of luggage arrived on the afternoon of December 30 ...

Two lessons learned - nothing of any meaning/significance to be placed in checked in luggage - i.e. favorite scarf.
Second is that my own tiny amenities pack will travel with me always.. toothpaste, toothbrush, lotion, all over gel, qtips. My experience with these two separate events has definitely impressed that I need to do that.

Sent an email to AF about the experience and of course no reply.
