On the trip to Portsmouth from Manchester we had a mishap. A window was broken. So we stopped in Birmingham. Everyone existed and we told to return at a certain which I did. They said there will be a further delay come back 12:30pm which I did. I realized that my luggage had been put on a Linberg bus and had departed. I traveled on the next bus to Portsmouth. Long story short I am in the Holiday Inn in Southampton without my bag. It is a large black bag with a green luggage tag. I am to depart tomorrow on the cruise ship Britannia P & O Lines. The bag contains all my clothing.
