Day 121 - Dramas

My friend Brian has come over from Aus to join me for a weeks hiking in Shenandoah National Park. But his trip has not started well.

The first thing that happened is he missed his connecting flight at Dallas. He had little time to make the connection, took a wrong turn at the airport, and ended up missing the flight by 10 minutes or so. His checked luggage (supposedly) left on the plane without him. Frustrating.

He booked another flight to Washington and flew there. But now his checked bag has gotten lost in the system, they do not know where it is. Calling the airport just gives you an automated system, so he is now going to the airport to talk to an actual person.

I'd intended to travel to Charlottesville to begin our hike but now going to get off in Washington instead to join Brian. Going to do some tourist things around the city after he has yelled at the airport people.Leia mais
