All is safely gathered, well nearly all...

Well here I am back safely in my apartment in Karachi. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said of my luggage! For the first time in my 25 years of international travel I have lost my luggage. This wasn’t a complete surprise as I was only on the ground for about 15 minutes at Abu Dhabi. The connection was only 60 minutes on paper and we left Cairo about 25 minutes late. So when I finally arrived in Abu Dhabi, I was only on the ground long enough to hear the call to say that my flight to Karachi was boarding and so it was straight onto the next plane. I was assured by the cabin crew that if I had made the flight then my luggage would!! Her faith was unfounded! I have yet to hear from the airline but I am hopeful that my bags will turn up on tonight’s flight.

Things here in Karachi are fine and they seem very quiet. Those who were here during the troubles say it was a bit grim as they weren’t able to go out for a few days but thankfully everything is calm at the moment...
