Finally Home

It is great to make it home finally, it would have nice though if it was not spoiled by the fact that I still have to deal with the aftermath of the El-Al ordeal; my laptop have arrived one day after me, but not my: ipod speaker, ipod charger, ipod icast, Nike tennis shoes, my old digital camera and my laptop charger (What good is a laptop without a charger). My gut feeling about flying without my full luggage was justified after all. I contacted El-Al and they don't know anything at the moment about those items (just great); all these items were taken out of my luggage by El-Al security and never returned, in a normal world that would be called stealing, an airline stealing from its own passengers, how audacious can you get. OK maybe I am exaggerating, maybe they just misplaced my stuff, but their attitude is still indignant.

Anyway I have to go on with life, so I bought a new charger for my laptop, and borrowed some Tennis shoes from my cousin, and I can charge the ipod by connecting it to the usb port in my laptop. If I had just agreed to take that Air France flight, but I couldn't just let them treat like that, and let it be without a fight.

I am trying to get my biological clock adjusted to local time, and it is going well so far; during the night of my flight I only got a couple of hours of sleep on the plane, but I forced my self to stay awake the next day until midnight, and I got a good eight our sleep. Today I struggled staying awake at some points, but decided to resist the temptation and not sleep before midnight. Remember midnight for me used to be what is 7 in the morning now here, going to sleep at an hour that is far from my previous sleeping hour will probably screw my biological clock, or at least I think so. Playing tennis in the afternoon today helped me stay awake, but I needed some coffee and an XL drink (a red bull imitation) to stay awake at night, now its midnight, and I can go to sleep again.

During the morning I went to the travel agency, as they asked me to bring them some document so they can file a compensation claim for me, today was actually the last day to file the claim, how lucky that I actually managed to make it back home before the deadline. Anyway I am just hoping I get a refund for at least part of my ticket cost.
