Bob Hope Quote: Lost Luggage

Tweet

Bob Hope was quite a comedian too. He always had something funny to say. This one hits a note with me, because of all the traveling I used to do. He said: “Flying? I’ve been to almost as many places as my luggage.” More than once, my luggage didn’t arrive with me on some of my trips. I did eventually get my luggage but it was very distressing at the time. Once there were seven of us traveling to South Dakota. When we arrived in Rapid City, everyone else’s luggage came off the airplane, except mine. We had rented a van to take us from Rapid City to Philip where we were to stay for a couple weeks and visit the Lakota Sioux Indian Reservation. We didn’t want to leave the airport without my luggage. They told us to wait for the next flight to come in and if my luggage was not on that flight, they would make arrangements to bring my luggage to me in Philip. I was really upset. I just knew my luggage was probably lost to me. We waited for the next flight and my luggage was on that plane, so I was quite relieved. Has your luggage ever been lost or misdirected?
