"We don't know whats on the Plane as far as luggage"

This is what the pilot of the plane informed us when leaving denver, after reboarding the plane like 3 times. This is not the news you want to hear when you are traveling across the world. They had to recount all of the bags and then load them. The whole air port exerience is nothing to be surprised about, as I stated in an eariler post, the "airport" experience sets the trend for the trip and it certainly has.

With all the trouble leaving denver and eventually running through the Chicago airport to catch the connecting flight we still made it to France only an hour later. As bad as United Airlines and basically every other airline they still manage to get you where you need to go no matter what circumstances. Austin was the only person not to get his bag when we landed, but eventually got it later in the week when they felt like getting it to him. As the week goes on, still the day of flying is talked about and will continue to be talked about throughout the trip.
