LAX - 12 Hours Later


After four connections, two screaming babies, three custom searches and lots of turbulence I have finally arrived in Los Angeles, what would normally take four hours took 12!

Wow this airport is ever so slightly bigger than Regina International Airport. Seven terminals, I had to take a bus that took 25 minutes to arrive at terminal two where I met up with Francois.

This leg will take 12 hours and it will be much more pleasant as we managed to SNEEK into the business class lounge! Can you say WOOHOO. Free drinks, free food, free snacks and if I have the urge, I could hop into the shower. Nice. 

While Francois flew Air Canada to LAX, I was on United most of the way. Our stories couldn't be any more different. One of us got to watch Juno on his own personal TV while the other was entertained by the flight crew making shadow puppets. Air Canada rules. (well at least over United Airlines)

Wow - you know it must be a bad airline if it is worse that air canada. Did you luggage make it? Always the test!

Looks like you have beer in hand and everything is good to go. Can't wait to hear more!!!
