Leaving Quito :(


Guillermo picked me up at Al Cala and took me to the airport where I found my bag could only be tagged for Memphis, I paid my $42.00 exit fee, and ended up going down on the tarmac while they went through my bag; it was quite an experience. Another great flight with a good breakfast on LAN. In Miami, after customs, I had to recheck my bag at the Northwest counter, and they promised me it would go to Kansas City. It was three pounds overweight, so I had to really load up my carry-on bag...not good. I changed planes in Memphis and on to Kansas City...and...my bag was there; I was relieved. I stayed over in Kansas City and drove home the next day. On arriving home, I really appreciated what I have...but...I miss Ecuador!
