Here's a story I forgot to post. My bad. I was watching the carousel in the Brisbane airport in eagar anticipation of my checked baggage. Alas, there it was when all of a sudden some Aussie dude beside me comments, "hey mate, is that some of the good red stuff coming from your bag?" To my horror my suitcase was freshly bleeding red wine on the carousel. All my electronics, my power supplies, battery chargers, laptop speakers, ect were in that bag. I quickly opened the bag which left a huge red stain on the ratty gray airport rug. Luckily the bottle of wine was on the bottom of the bag wrapped with a crappy pair of gym shorts and the electronics on top were only lightly dusted with the red stuff. The two other bottles of wine were luckily unscathed but the wine that was lost was a really sweet bottle of Shiraz. Luckily my better clothes were in the other bag. The cab ride had the beautiful smell of shiraz mixed with old socks so I pretended like nothing happened. Upon my arrival at my hotel (after 1am!) I washed my suitcase and soaked DVD's in the shower. Fun.
