There are two kinds of people in the world. Those whose suitcases come at once on the airport baggage carousel, and those who have tried every trick in the book and still have to wait till the cows come home.
Checked in early, checked in late, checked in with shabby bags, done it with matching branded luggage. Makes no difference, everyone is going home except you and it is always the ones next to you who seem to get their bags first.

And you are now a band of brothers; you even wait for each other at immigration so you can walk to belt number 8 together and, while waiting, exchange numbers on newly re- ignited mobile phones and
