But there is a BIG BUT. One of our bags was somehow left behind outside the hotel door at Silica--mine with all the computer stuff, cameras, digital photos. Yikes!!! The Hertz clerk called Silica. They checked and it was still outside the hotel door. They arranged for it to be brought to the airport via the airport shuttle which was leaving there shortly. We had plenty of time, so I did not completely panic.
While awaiting the bus, I checked the outdoor art. This first one is titled Jet Nest. Is that a newborn jetliner wing sticking out of the egg? Hmm! Next is the Rainbow Sculpture...which makes a lot more sense.
A half hour later the bus arrived. No bag and the driver knew nothing about it. Oh, geez! He said to check with the bus desk. I went there and that clerk started making phone calls. I was holding back the tears. I was there about 20 minutes waiting for some info. Then I spotted a man walking up to the desk and he was miraculously carrying the bag.
Then the tears started flowing, but with happiness. The lady clerk and I hugged. She was so happy for me and I was so thankful to her and her company (Icelandic Excursions) for coming through. Not sure how it happened, but I was elated it did.
T&L had proceeded ahead to the Saga Lounge (waiting area for business class passengers). Mike hung back til I got the bag. After a sigh of relief we continued through a very easy security check point.
Lots more art in the very long hallway to the lounge. The first is Silver Sabler by Erró, a cartoon action piece.
And a cabinet warned of species near extinction and items confiscated for illegal transport.
Finally we made it to the Saga Lounge, bag in hand, smiles on our faces, finally ready to relax.
