So, after two travel days (including twelve hours straight in a plain today) we are no farther than Toronto. This morning, we met up with the rest of the family and boarded the plain in toronto headed for Antigua. Near the end of the flight, we find out that a volcano erupted on a little island beside Antigua and so (because of poor visibility caused by volcanic ash) we, and listen carefully, we landed in San Juan, Puerto Rico, re-fueled and flew BACK TO TORONTO!!! So, what should have been a less than five hour trip took twelve hours and we ended up right where we started this morning. After having to wait at the airport for a shuttle which took three tries, seeing as there were so many of us trying to get here, we have arrived at a hotel. We are all dead tired and hungry, in fact, my chicken burger should be on the way as we speak.
For a while there I thought I had miss-named my blog. It should have been 'trying to get to Antigua'. But it turns out there is a special flight out tomorrow morning just for us(and all other hundred people from our flight). So the vacation will continue, just a day late.
Hopefully I will be writing again tomorrow actually IN Antigua.
Aww man!! That's just ridiculous, that sucks so much.
