Transcribing what i wrote on the plane 2 days ago.
First day
So lets see, slept...6 hours on the 29th, did a final, next time I got sleep was at 7AM, the next day, on a flight to belgium(the 30th), smoothest flight ever.
Brussel was nice but no time to shop, had to rush for flight to Chicago.
I have to say service was great even as we were delayed unholy amounts of hours.
At chicago we arrived very late, immigration was the low point. esspecially the camera and fingerprint scans. Screw homeland security, if the Israeli police can do it without all that, so can the U.S, which is in a far better state.
Cue issue number 1, bagge number 3 got lost, meaning toiletries are somewhere in europe along with some shoes. Well there goes the shopping bag.
After a marathon run through Ohare airport, carrying bags of duty free stuff(alot of candy for you people). Flight was delayed, to my anoyence, at this point I realised my dislike of 767s was perfectly justified, thse things suck.
Im writing this on the way to SF, on very little sleep, I got some 4 hours on the way to Brussel and a few more in the Atlantic but nothing since, got myself atleast synced to SF time. I forsee time zones screwing me.
Gotta say AA service is good, trying to compensate for issues beyond their control, aswell as letting me into the cockpit post flight was nice.
My fingers are numb and Im about to collapse, so see you in the next log.
Dalton your candy survived the trip.
P.S, they keep losing my baggage even more.
