After a long journey from Hong Kong, which involved a 7-hour layover compounded by a 3-hour delay, we arrive in Chicago . We missed the last flight to Grand Rapids , our destination, by just 20 minutes. The airline arranged hotel rooms for us, and we took a shuttle for a short night’s rest. We must have been a pretty sorry sight to the hotel staff. One of them looked at us shook his head and simply said, “Distressed travelers”. Perhaps in the travel industry that is the common term, but it was new to me.
