My miserable trip to NY

It is said that everyone has memorable events and experiences in their life. Especially, a travel often makes wonderful memories, because we can get away from our everyday life. On the other hand, a travel has also an opposite effect to frustrate or disappoint us when unexpected things happen. In my case, I have a miserable memory when I travelled to NY.

It was my first trip by myself. Everything ran smoothly before arriving at the NY airport. What happed was I lost my baggage. In fact, my baggage was wrongly loaded to somewhere else during the connecting flight, and was not delivered to NY. Although I know these troubles often happen, I never imagined that this would happen to me, especially, it was my first trip alone!! Afterwards, this incident ruined all my travel plans.

First, I had to buy some extra clothes and necessary items, such as toilet kit etc. Therefore, I spent money for the things that I didn't plan for.

In addition, I called almost everyday the airline office to find out my baggage during the trip. That made me annoyed because I had to explain my situation every single time when I called there. Especially it was a nightmare when the agent was unkind to non-native English speakers.

Furthermore, my lost baggage was not delivered to NY, and I finally received it at Kansai airport when I returned to Japan. Consequently, my stuff prepared for the trip didn’t work at all.

That’s my unforgettable trip. I felt very miserable during the trip without my clothes but it was at least a good experience to negotiate patiently with the agents in English.
