So after spending three months in Prague my son is returning to the states, but not before a brief stop over in Stockholm. Since he was there for three months he has a lot of stuff and doesn’t want to lug it in Sweden. He is thinking of shipping a bunch of stuff back, and he is checking on the price of that. Sending stuff from here to there is very expensive, but vice versa might be cheaper. I was thinking…what would happen if he just doesn’t pick up the luggage in sweden, then calls the airport and says he forgot it and will be back in a few days. Do they have to store it? Are they are allowed to destroy it? Do airports have lockers anymore where you can stick some bags for a few days? Just trying to come up with a simple plan that allows him to not have to schlepp everything with him everywhere.
