That’s what the British Airways rep said in a heavy accent as we were boarding the plane to London in Seattle.
He had just finished telling us that there was a 99% chance that our luggage wasn’t going to make it on the flight (long story) and suggested we board the plane and get a bottle of red wine… “everything is complimentary.”
We’re hanging out in the International Terminal at London / Heathrow now wondering how we’re going to kill a 7 hour layover before we head to Entebbe, Uganda.
It’s been the craziest trip ever so far… my dog peed on my bag, we almost didn’t make it out of Redmond in time, a plane had a flat time (go figure?), half our team didn’t have the right reservations on the flight from Redmond to Seattle and had to do a multi flight dash to get to Seattle (and they still beat the rest of us), we almost left without the trip money (I tried to blame that one on Kip, but it was probably my oversight), and it ended with a personal escort van ride from the Horizon flight direct to the British Airways 777 (they pulled us off the Horizon plane before letting anyone else stand up!)
Anyway, I’m hoping that our bags will be in Entebbe, but I’m preparing myself for 4 days without my stuff (the next flight to Uganda is 3 days later!!)
