I had a similar experience my last trip my suitcase never made St Thomas. The airlines lost it the frustrating thing was no one really cared but me. It was found and returned to me two weeks after I got home from my trip. It was sent to the Bahamas. US Airways called me from there and said they would send it via UPS because they were afraid US Airways would loose it again. I did get a lot of new clothes while in BVI compliments of US Airways <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Banana.gif" alt="" />
