After a long (really long) travel including delayed flights & long airport waiting times I reached Bloomington without my baggage. Yes, all my bags didn't make it. Same with Roshan who travelled back with me. I flew from Rome to London & London to Atlanta (in US). The scene at Rome airport wasn't very good. Besides the no-carryon-liquids, pens, lipsticks, pencils etc restriction, the flight was delayed by several hours without any announcement in between. Things were much worse at London airport. I spent 4 hours there to receive my baggage form Rome. People were quiet & patient. Most of them lay on conveyor belts, trolleys, their luggage and some on floors. People who were walking by seemed to carry a lot of suspicion in their eyes. I can only imagine how tough it can be for a guy who appears to be a muslim to travel in these circumstances. I sincerely hope that the situation comes to normal soon & there is peace.

My bags were delivered the next day, intact. I hope to blog about my travel with some pictures after getting some rest.
