I am writing this post while sat cross-legged on the floor in LAX airport. To say my journey home from Palm Springs has been tumultuous is literally the understatement of the millennium. Two cancelled flights, two missed connections, two very expensive flight changes, two unexpected nights in a random (but actually very lovely) hotel, three lost pieces of luggage and two very weary travellers and we’re still trying to get back to Blighty!
My travel companion, Richard, and I have been battered about from pillar to post. I’m not usually one to name and shame but for goodness sakes never fly with United Airlines. They have royally screwed us… twice. Literally the worst airline and customer service I have ever experienced…
However I’ve been trying my best to keep things positive, despite having to wear the same underwear for four days in a row! We had a 15 hour layover in LA today which meant we were able to get out of the airport (and into some fresh air) and went to hang out with Shauna who just happened to be here! She took us out for delicious food, found us a store to buy new pants (!) and generally cheered us up no end. I love you Nubbles!
At least all these delays have meant one thing – plenty of time for scouring the interwebz for Thursday Treats… I’m always keeping things positive baby!
I found my ridiculous sunglasses in a random design shop in Palm Springs. They were only $19 and I am obsessed… do you reckon I can get away with them in Reading?! Very Mrs Wonka don’t ya think?

I’ll see you on the other side.
Thank you for including me here. 🙂 Loved seeing you girls have fun in Palm Springs!!
Kat, you and Richard made MY day by showing up on my doorstep at the crack of dawn! Browsing stores on Melrose, taking in amazing design, graffiti and signs was awesome. Thanks for breaking up my routine and inspiring me to take a little adventure. Hope you’ve made it home safely by now! xoxo
Point by point:
– Travels are happy
– lost luggage is crappy
– sunglasses iz snazzy
and ta duckie for the link love!
haha Amma i love your comment!
Oh man, I have an internal flight from San Francisco to Vegas soon with UA.. hope it’s ok!
Safe trip home Kat. Enjoyed following your time in Palm Springs. Yes, you can get away with those sunglasses anywhere. Awesome! Keli
Loved your report… funny,an Englishman who jilted me to marry another woman is now working the tarmack at Heathrow for UA. Maybe that is why your trip was shit,lol. Sorry about that :/ Glad you are back home and safe x
Get back safely lady! Sounds like an absolute ‘mare. xxx
I’m sorry to hear you had such a stressful trip back home 🙁 I’ve been though similar situations before so I totally get where you’re coming from. This is why I always pack an extra change of clothes in my carry-on now, you just never know when your flight is going to be delayed or when an airline is going to ‘misplace’ your suitcase!
Looks like you had a great time with Shauna though so I guess that’s a silver lining 🙂 xx
HEY Kat, safe journey home! sounds like you had a super stressy time. Much love xo
Kat, you’re an inspiration in looking on the bright side of life! Thanks for sharing these great ideas!
Wow that sounds super annoying, sometimes getting home can be the hardest thing.. hit the travel insurance and re-coup at least some cash !
