El Al is the Devil!
So El Al LOST my belongings. This included my CD/MP3 player, my CAMERA’S BATTERY CHARGER!!!!!!!!!! and my Card reader so I can upload photos to the site!
Their solution? Mail me a check in a few months. Obviously that wasn’t going to work for me, so after a day of yelling they are going to give me $160 in cash. That doesn’t really help me. But it’s my ONLY option. Take it or leave it.
I may have paid $160 for the total of these items, but that isn’t going to cover the lost images I never got to take while in Israel because my camera’s battery needs charging. It doesn’t make up for the fact that I’ll never find a Universal battery charger in the third world countries I’ll be heading to. Or make up for the fact that if I did order it online again that the shipping would be outragous, if I even had a place to ship it to!!!!!!
Losing my CD player pushed me to upgrade to an mp3 player. That was cool. But the battery charger is just simply irreplaceable. It works in EVERY country in the world. No fuss. It just works. And its small. Hopefully I’ll find a solution soon. Otherwise….no pictures!!!!!!!!!!

I dont suppose they have disposable cameras you can use until you get your charger could you? That is of course if they even have such an item in the countries you are currently in and heading for. At least this way you could have some pics for future uploads.
