Luggage Disaster...

My mom drove me to the Des Moines airport on Wednesday. I wanted to get there early in order to move stuff around in my bags so they all were an okay weight since I added a few things. As I was checking in I found out that there was an embargo for Mexico until August 30th. This means that you are allowed to take only TWO fifty pound bags. At this point I have 4 bags, two that weigh 50 pounds and two that weigh 70. However, my mom was the one who was told this because I helped this Spanish speaking woman find her missing bags since no one else spoke Spanish we walked to the other end of the airport and talked to some very rude unhelpful officials.
So, I moved to a wall and opened up all 4 of my bags and began the process of unpacking/repacking/leaving behind a ton of stuff. At this point I’m sitting on the airport floor crying and getting a lot of strange looks from business men who walk by with their black suits and little carry-ons! We only had about an hour to do all of this and the ladies said that we could have 70 pounds instead of just fifty. Kathy was a very helpful lady while the other women were rude and unsympathetic. So basically I had no idea what was actually in my suitcase or if I was missing anything important as well as I had things all over the place and nothing was as neatly organized. But, thank God all of my luggage made it and almost everything I need is here!
