So what should have been a quick 7ish hour trip total back to Honduras ended up taking almost 24 hours. I left my parents' house at 2:30am on Monday morning to catch my 5:35am flight from Chicago to Miami. Everything seemed to be going so smoothly until I got on the plane. Why they even let us on the plane I'm not sure. Take off time goes by and an announcement is made; the captain is not here yet. Then the stewardess proceeds to say he is not even at the airport yet. Two hours later a captain shows up. Apparently the original captain that was supposed to fly us got ill and it took that long to find a replacement and get him there. We finally take off after sitting on the plane for 2 hours.
We land in Miami. I know I'm cutting it SUPER close. We land at 11:20 and my connecting flight to Miami leaves at 11:40am. I get off the plane at 11:30 hoping I can run for it. Nope, no such luck. I missed it. So I go to a desk and get on the next flight. Except the next flight was at 7:20pm. Awesome, a 7 hour layover. Not so awesome. At least they gave me a food voucher for lunch and dinner and bumped me up to first class for my flight. Great time to have my first First Class experience. I had ice cream on my flight. It was great! Then I arrived in San Pedro and they didn't have my bag. But there were some people we knew from town waiting to take a church group into town from our flight so we hitched a ride with them. I finally made it to my house at midnight. LONGEST DAY EVER!!!! I went and got my bag yesterday. All is well.
