Snafu or Good Thing?

Well, it wasn’t a bad trip, flights were delayed from Arkansas to Dallas, then Dallas to Las Vegas. Pretty much only time to get from one gate to the other. Got to LAX and low and behold, I become a victim of lost luggage. At first it’s like “this can’t be happening to me” then it set in. My luggage didn’t make one of the connections. So, off to the “lost luggage” desk. United can’t find it, so I trudge off for what seems 5 miles (it’s only from gates 7 to gates 4), but have you been to LAX? Anyway, it was determined that the luggage didn’t make the connection in Las Vegas from American Airlines to United. Long story short, it was a good thing, cause while I was waiting I was able to eat and not have to deal with luggage. I went back to the United luggage claim at the next flight from Las Vegas and finally the luggage shows up. So I get it and off to Tom Bradley terminal (with a $3 luggage cart that was priceless) and get checked in for my flight out. It was FOREVER it seemed, at least security was a breeze. So I’m at my gate now with 1 hour to spare. It has been a busy night since I arrived to LAX. I must say the airline personnel were very helpful and concerned. Just mark it up to travel experience. If it’s the worse that ever happens, I’m happy
Next post will be from somewhere in Indonesia.
