my flight from chennai to newark

I travelled from chennai to newark on air india on saturday - 23 June 2007. quite a fateful trip it was.
1. chennai-mumbai - plane which is supposed to leave at 3.45 leaves at 5.30 am
2. plane lands in mumbai at around 7.40 am and we are sitting in the plane for next 1 hours
3. finally we disembark and reach gate to find that connecting flight has left
4. only option is to stay in hotel booked by air-india - and catch the same flight the next day :(
5. At the hotel, there is no internet connection.
6. We finally manage to board plane and reach newark, but our luggage fails to make it
7. finally get the luggage 2 days later...

What a trip !!!!
