Beautiful plane, but where's the luggage?!

I took this during my brief stopover in Hong Kong. (Grabbing a photo to blip and getting a bowl of dan dan noodles in the lounge are always my two top priorities there ;)

I was going to post it with comments about how much I love flying with Cathay Pacific. I still do, but tonight the relationship is possibly a little strained as I made it to Perth (the Western Australia one ;) but...my luggage didn't.

It's depressing standing at the luggage carousels, with that sinking feeling as everyone else collects theirs and you begin to realise that everything that's going to come out has been round at least twice. Getting reunited with it may be a little challenging too, as I'm hopping around over the next few days. If it arrives here tomorrow before I fly to Melbourne late afternoon, great, I can pick it up at the airport. Otherwise it'll hopefully catch me up in Melbourne, or in Adelaide after that....fingers crossed!

Anyway...I'm now finally at the hotel, it's half past midnight, and I have to be up at 6 to head across town for a breakfast meeting. The hotel's kindly given me a toothbrush and razor so I can be at least somewhat presentable for tomorrow, but they're just going to have to put up with me turning up still in my travelling clothes!
