LAX SUX

.
That's right, and you can quote me on that one!!! We got to the airport on the 19th after an hour and 15 minutes trying to go 15 miles! And then having to drop off the van at an off site location (instead of the terminal location that the person on the telephone told Kent we would be able to drop it off at) and wait for a bus to take us to the airport with other people. And of course our terminal was number 7 out of 7 terminals!!! And the other people got off before us and had their bags taken off by the driver...then arriving at curbside service and waiting another 10 minutes and finding out that when it was finally our turn that the 45 minute cut off had indeed cut off!!! They wouldn't take our bags and said that there was nothing we could do...we would miss our flight!!! That was at 10:13 am and our flight left at 10:45!!! So, we waited another half hour in another line and found out that the next available flight would be in the evening arriving in Chicago at midnight and a connecting flight would get us home at 10:30 the next morning! So, what did we do? Well, the next blog entry will show just that. Suffice it to say that we ate lunch in LA and breakfast the next morning in Chicago! Nothing in between...nothing was open!!!
What an end to our fine trip!!! Now, the only thing left to do is laugh and remember why we also got souvenirs from Chicago!................ :O)
