7 jets in 36 hours
Maybe I should post this in the forum here on Bootsnall, but I would bet my exit from Thailand and back home ranks up there with the all-time worst travel connections.
Here’s what I inflicted on myself:
Flight 1: Chiang Mai – Bangkok
Flight 2: Bangkok – Taipei
Flight 3: Taipei – Los Angeles
Flight 4: LAX – Salt lake City
Flight 5: Salt Lake – Seattle
Flight 6: Seattle – Anchorage
Flight 7: Anchorage – Kenai
For the entire time in SE Asia, I traveled with one carry-on backpack. Just before I left Chiang Mai, I bought another bag and went gift-shopping. I placed my dirty laundry in the check-in bag and kept the important stuff in the carry-on, anticipating that the check-in piece would be lost in the shuffle en route.
I didn’t have to wait until I got to Kenai (that flight is a tiny turboprop with just 8 seats) to discover that my bag had kept up the pace. Damn lucky.
