Massage Table

So, it is 645 am, July 30. On a train from Villach to Klagenfurt, Austria. We began the journey in Bern, Switzerland thru Zurich……with many stops along the way. When we purchased our tickets, we were told there were no sleepers, so we would be sitting for the entire 10 hr train ride. This is pretty much how the European train system works. Well, to help you understand the situation better, we were asked by USA Volleyball to transport the team massage table from Gstaad to Klagenfurt. It was otherwise going to cost a lot of money to ship, so we agreed. However, a massage table is a large piece of luggage, and would not store easily in our train cabin. So, we decided to store it behind the seats on the car next to ours……..bad move. During our stop in Feldricht (?-around 10:30pm) we made a few forward, backward movements……it confused us. What was happening…….without further thought; we stayed in our seats, and waited for the train to continue to Villach. Well, we realized at 6am in the morning, as we went to retrieve the massage table, the train had split, and half went to Graz, while our train proceeded to Villach. Yes, the massage table we were asked to bring for the players went to another city. So, today, we begin to track it down and act like nothing happened. Stay tuned!
