I know it's been a while since I've updated my blog. What can I say, I've been busy.

Anyway, I had to share this story. Random things are always happening to me and my flight back from Fl was no exception. First of all, I was in Tampa this past weekend at Mike and Jill's wedding. Congrats guys! Flying up there was easy...a direct flight. Coming back, well, that wasn't so easy.

For whatever reason, I had to fly from Tampa to Miami and then to Puerto Rico. Yeah, that doesn't make sense to me, but whatever. So I flew to Miami and that was fine. Of course I had a few hours to kill when I got there since my next flight was at night. So I wait, charge my phone which wasn't easy. There is a shortage of working electrical wall outlets on concourse C of the Miami airport. Everyone fights over the few sockets. Hours go by and it's finally time to board my flight home. But wait, where's the plane? It hadn't arrived yet, so more waiting.

It finally arrived and we board only to sit there for another hour. Why? I don't know. After that hour, we take off and the ride is normal. Until we reach PR. So we're right above PR and the captain has said, "Prepare for landing", when 10 seconds later he pulls way up. WTF anyone. The next thing we here is, "I apologize, but we can't land in PR right now. There's a storm right over the airport and safety comes first. So, we're being rerouted to Santo Domingo (The Dominican Republic) and we'll wait out the storm there". Uhm....ok.

So we fly to DR, land and do more waiting. Of course we weren't allowed to get off the plane. There were so many annoying people around me. They'd been drinking wine and talking all flight long. I seriously just wanted to get away from them, but couldn't. Then they were talking as if they were the only one's who were having this problem. Annoying. After about almost an hour in DR, we take off again and head home. I spent more than 4hrs on a plane trying to get home from Miami. I finally made it home at 2am.

Random!
