So here we are in the air between Miami and DF. We got ready a bit early this morning so caught an earlier bus from the resort to the airport. Check-in was simple though busy. Got our boarding passes, checked our luggage, and headed for TSA Security screening - notorious at MCO for slow-moving lines.
Surprisingly, our line moved pretty well and we were on our way to the AA module pretty quickly. Found a bit to eat and waited for our flight to be called.
The first flight of the day was rather short - about 25 minutes, but the total time was about an hour what with loading the passengers, taxi-ing to the runway, et cetera.
Miami International is much nicer to navigate when you’re flying domestically! No long treks to Customs/Immigration. What we thought would be a long layover between flights turn into 45 minutes before our announced loading time. However, it turned out to be the normal half-hour before takeoff, so it wasn’t too hurried and we had time to pick up a sandwich for the flight.
The flight was marred by a screaming child - in the row ahead of us! I felt really sorry for the family, who were trying to figure out a way to quiet their son. The other part of the family group (in the row behind us) made suggestions, but nothing seemed to work for long. At least I think they were suggestions - it was all in some foreign tongue. He quieted down once we landed, so methinks it may have been inner-ear related.
Once we got through customs and immigracion, we collected our luggage and headed out to find our shuttle pick-up. They offered us a choice: the bus/car combination that we'd paid for or share a shuttle van directly to our home for the same price. There was just one more party to show up. Guess which one we picked?
So five hours later we eventually arrived in San Miguel, tagged our beds, and fell asleep. Dogs to be delivered tomorrow....
