We could cobble together clothing (not much because he had been away for 2 weeks and his best travel clothes were in the delayed bag) but we needed the technical equipment so had to spend his few hours at home 1) making the claim, 2) driving him home, 3) doing inventory to see what we needed, 4) driving back into the city to buy the equipment ($200 expense), 5) installing the equipment on the laptop and making sure it worked.

Now, my FF won't check any equipment so that's why all his clothes are in the suitcas. He has a toothbrush in his computer bag but no extra underwear, shampoo, or anything else. Just an umbrella. After the incident in YHZ I'm trying to get him to tuck his night-guard into the computer case too so he'll have it if his bag is delayed again. For the two nights it wasn't a big deal, his teeth didn't shift much, but if the delay had been longer or the bag lost, I would have been pissed at the expense of replacing it.
