How do I start? Well the flight to Amsterdam and the connection to Las Vegas went smoothly.

We had 1h40m to get to our LA flight. The immigration queue was HUGE. By the time we got to the desk, we were frazzled and had certainly missed our connection, but then…

The computer didn’t work for us. We were shunted off into a room of dodgy characters, shouted at for using our phones, were told to put them away and be quiet or our visas would be revoked.

Welcome to the USA!

Of course they didn’t explain what was happening at all. After over an hour they finally called us up, asked a few inane questions, stamped our passports and off we went.

The KLM reps we’re helpful in sorting out new flights, but first booked us to LA via San Francisco. I rather firmly declined their kind offer (4 flights instead of the original 2, and 24 hours travel time didn’t appeal).

So, in the end, we’re in a motel in Vegas and off to LA direct tomorrow. We were advised we could claim the hotel and compensation totally more than the original cost of the flights, so there’s a bonus!

So, I’m tired, night night, but does turn out I’m the best quizzer on the plane…
