Its about 4:55AM EST and about 1:55AM PST on Wednesday, September 26, 2007, and I have just arrived in LAX. What a day. I was scheduled to get here about 10:00PM EST; however, there was some weather in Chicago that allowed me to spend quality time with the staff at Southwest Airlines.
We departed from Louisville about 30 minutes late. I was told it was a ground hold due to weather in Chicago. About 15 minutes before landing a decision was made to divert the aircraft to Indianapolis. So...I got to see Indy...We were not allowed to get off the plane. Simply put, we needed gas to continue our journey...At this point all the passengers on board were told they would miss their connections in Chicago. After about an hour we departed again to Chicago.
Once in Chicago, I realized that I would not miss my connection. In fact, every plane arriving and departing into Chicago was about three hours late. This worked out great for me. I had about an hour layover and boarded for Los Angeles. It was a long flight (even though it was considerably shorter than the one tomorrow). Four hours from Chicago to LA.
I arrived in LA about 1:35AM and just now got to the Radisson. So I am off to bed. More to come in the following days...

It sounds like a normal typical day flying to me so far. Relax and enjoy. Hope you have a great trip.
Sounds like a lot of fun. Am I still on the plane with you?
Have a safe, good one!
