Scott and I have been offline for the past week - we were kickin' it up Caribbean style on a Carnival cruise. And we are ready for a little vacay! So let me start recounting the stories from the trip.
The cruise was from August 11th through the 18th with two days at sea and stopping at four ports: Cozumel, Belize, Roatán and Grand Cayman. We were ready for some sun, sand, and sea. Well, it seemed like the cosmos was pitted against us and tried to foil our plans of making it to Miami.
Our flights were originally scheduled to leave Friday night out of SLC at 11:59 pm - gross - with about a 2 hour layover in Charlotte, NC. Then arrive in Ft. Lauderdale and take a shuttle to the port. Not that ridiculous of a schedule.
Well on Friday, Scott got a call from US Airways, saying that the flight was delayed until 1:30, meaning that there was a short window of time now to make our connection. To be on the safe side, we changed the flight from Charlotte to leave just a little bit later so we wouldn't have anything to worry about.
A few hours later, the airline called us again saying the flight was now delayed until 3am, so there was no way we would make the new connection. We changed our flights completely to accomodate. We would now leave at 8pm Friday night, stop in Phoenix and Philadelphia before getting to Ft. Lauderdale - with lengthy layovers.
When we arrived at the airport, our first flight was on time and no longer delayed. Of course.
But at long last we made it. Let the cruising begin!
