My son back to Bangladesh

After a very hectic schedule of 15 days, my son Mohibul Islam went back to Bangladesh on May 3 last. He came to USA on 15 April'08, attended a 3 day long student conference to MIT on golbal poverty alleviation, travelled to NY city, Amarillio, Texas (to his maternal aunt's and cousins house), participated some dinner parties I hosted, joined one of our weekly Humphrey seminars and also my graduation ceremony on 2 May. He went to some ethnic relationship parties (to Andover, Lynn), also bought so many electronic gadgets (Xbox & others) for him as well as for his friends. To his own words, joining in MIT conference was simply "Life Changing"
His return to BD via London, Bahrain, Doha was most thrilling & also frustrating. Because his BA flight from London was so delayed that he couldn't catch the next connecting Gulf flight from Bahrain. So by alternate flights of Qatar Airways, he flew to Doha & then from Doha to Dhaka. But his luggages were not reached Dhaka till today. He also missed his flights on his travel from Amarillo to Houston on 28 April & came back to Boston by having alternate and costly alternative flights (Amarillo - Cleveland- Manchester). So he is full of experiences in airflights both in USA and also in international routes. In futute these experiences should help him in mitigating risks (to some extent, by a proper risk management plan) in flying.
