When Approximately Was the Camera Found / Lost?

Tuesday, Dec. 27, 2011 between 5:30 and 7:00 a.m.

Where Exactly Was the Camera Found / Lost?

My family and I were travelling from Jaipur, India, to Delhi, India. I strongly believe it was left behind at the security check area in the Jaipur Airport. Although, there is a slight possibility that it was lost somewhere else within the Jaipur Airport, on our Jet Airways flight from Jaipur to Delhi, or at the Delhi Airport.

Lessons Learned

  • Constantly check that your most valuable items are still with you.
  • Make a note of which valuable items you should check to make sure you have them with you after collecting your belongings at security check.
  • Avoid early morning flights if possible, so that you are completely alert when in the airport.
  • Travel lightly. Take as few carry-on items as possible.
  • Upload photos to laptop daily when traveling. This was a fleeting thought a few days before losing my camera, and I now deeply regret not acting on it.
  • Avoid taking pictures on the last day of your trip. Simply pack your camera away.
