A Little Traveling Music Please...

Well, like all best laid plans, things haven't gone exactly as planned. 

 With the storms from yesterday, our early morning flight out of town was cancelled 

because the airport didn't have power. 

After some very early morning discussions with the airline folks we managed 

to get flights out of Birmingham, bounce in Charlotte, and land in Ft. Lauderdale at midnight 

with a 6:10am flight to Port au Prince in the morning.

So - here we sit in the Ft. Lauderdale airport, outside of the secure area, 

with nothing open, waiting for the American Airlines ticket desk to open at 4am 

so we can get our boarding passes. 

 (Shout out to Erin, US Airways flight attendant extraordinaire for loading us up 

with bags of sodas, waters, and first-class snacks knowing that we were going to be sitting

 in the terminal overnight and leaving to go on our mission trip first thing in the morning.)

We had to retrieve all of our checked baggage to be re-checked for the international flight 

in the morning. Not sure why. Anyway, we are sitting here, 

with loads of baggage and telling anyone who looks at us funny 

that we are going on a girlfriend weekend. 

 A bag for makeup, a bag for hair products, a bag for shoes...
