The reason for the worst trip in years was not only the flights, but also that my hotel room was mistakenly gven away both when I got there, and then when I got back late, I checked in, got my room key and there was someone in my room. I suppose it was a computer mix up. There were a bunch of other circumstances. As far as the luggage, I understand them getting a little wet while loading/ unloading, but for them to just sit in the pouring rain on an unattended wheeled rack, I find unacceptable.
Sheryl, as for your post, I dont understand your tone and didn't appreciate the sarcasm. I simply asked a question and found your post quite childish.
Thanks to everyone else...
