sorry I did not update sooner, I made it home wed night and 10hrs later I was back at the airport heading to japan. I left the fridge with luggage service and everything seemed to go well. I asked for a baggage claim ticket and dropped it off at the front desk of austydak's hotel with a note for him. I also left a message for lam712 with the claim number just in case. I have not heard if austydak had any problems picking it up sat. I hope all went well.
Can't wait for my Jan trip, and booked bounce back for Sept looks like I better start saving. Who needs heat in the winter-
