Yes, I completely understand that story and that is
exactly what I was talking about. I could have tried to take my original connection, which the bags were loaded onto and then, at MY expense, get the bags. That makes sense (partly).
The airline was able to re-route you without additional cost and your decision was to not fly with your bags. You could have continued to DTW and found overnight accommodations on your own.
You made the right decision to make your life easier...
