I cannot believe I made it to LA

I finally arrived in LA and even though I wanted to sleep on the last flight I struggled through it and was feeling pretty good. The airport was huge and humid and hot. I couldn't find a place to buy calling cards and the only alternative was to pay $15 bucks for the first minute and $2 per minute afterwards to put the call on my credit card. No thanks.

The Pacific Air flight was fantastic. It was enormous with 2 levels and there was tons of room. I slept during most of it, much to the chagrin of the Irish man behind me who liked to kick my seat when I put it back.

Going through customs in Fiji was pretty quick and by 6am I was all settled.

That is, except that the airline lost all my checked-in luggage.
