Getting to Sweden was quite an adventure to say the least. It started out at KCI Airport. My original plan was to leave KCI at 10:45 fly to Chicago and then on to Stockholm, Sweden. But the travel agency and the airlines had a disagreement about whether or not there was even a ticket for me. The airlines won and the travel agency tried to put me on another plane but they only gave me 15 minutes to change airlines, terminals, and get checked in, so I missed that flight too. Finally I caught a brake, a plane had been delayed leaving for Detroit and I was able to get on it. Now I was going to Detroit, then Amsterdam, then to Stockholm. However, in Detroit my flight was delayed 4 hours because all the bathrooms on board were broken. So I missed my connection from Amsterdam to Stockholm. I had to switch airlines and then I got to spend 8 hours in the Amsterdam Airport, (I was proud of my self for finding my way through customs and then figuring out my ticket). I was lucky to meet a nice family from the U.S. that let me borrow their phone to leave My (the name of the girl picking me up at the airport, sounds like “me”) a message and then I headed off to Stockholm and arrived at 7:30 pm (12 hours after I was originally going to arrive). Then I found out my luggage had been lost in Amsterdam. After being passed back and forth between several desks I found a nice lady to help me figure out where my luggage was and she called My for me, (because at this point I didn’t even know if she got my message) luckly she had and she was right outside of security waiting for me. I found out that my luggage was coming in on a 10:30 flight. Another IFYE from England was coming in about that time so she arranged for the person picking him up to get it. So I made it!
