We were so excited to finally go to Australia after all of our preparation but we got stuck in the Denver International Airport (DIA) for about 3 hours because of United’s plane’s wing problems! It was horrible and they didn’t even tell us to get off until like 2 hours of actually being on the plane; it would have been better to at least be in the gate so we could walk around. At least I got to watch some of Surfs Up. We finally started moving right after some of us bought our dinner. The mood got better on the plane because we watched a comedy channel on the screen and it was so cute because the comedians were trying to find the cutest pets! The winner was a little Slow Moving Norris named Sonya who loves being tickled!
But because of the delay at DIA we missed our connection in LAX and got stuck in LA for a day. Luckily, we didn’t have to sleep at the airport because our leaders got us a hotel near there. Unluckily, United lost our luggage, all of it, everybody’s! But I had packed my backpack with toiletries and a change of clothes, so I was prepared!
