148 Years is how long Thanksgiving has been an official holiday for the United States Government. That is relevant because the fact that US Customs is closed for the Thanksgiving Holiday, and that our shipper didn't anticipate that, is his excuse for not getting the bikes on a ship that will have them in Santiago before us. The shipper has known that we wanted the bikes in Santiago before 12/28 since March 2011. Yes, nine months...there is no excuse for that kind of incompetent boobery.
Now, instead of our bikes waiting for our arrival at Carlos' house we will have to go to the port and push to get our bikes as soon as possible. I was mentally prepared for delays in South America. I wasn't really prepared for delays caused by screw-ups when planning time was unlimited.
