Traveling in Hurricane Season

Hello up there!

Okay, I'll try to be brief (and that is a very difficult thing for me to do)...

I left home on Friday afternoon and I only just got here a few hours ago, but I am well and so is all my luggage. I finally left Seattle sometime after 2am on well, I guess that makes it this morning. Much to my surprise when my tickets were re-issued the seats assigned to me were in first class. Nice.

Since my first flight was late I missed my connecting flight to Montego Bay and was subsequently put on another flight. However, people had been moved around so much because of all the delays so they were asking passengers to volunteer their seats so that families and the like could travel together. They told me I could get on another plane destined for MoBay via Nassau, The Bahamas and it was leaving pretty much at the same time. So off to the Bahamas I went. There was no first class on that plane so I sat next to two kids from Georgia who periodically shoved each other and referred to me as "ma'am." I was delayed just twice more in Nassau until I finally boarded a plane for MoBay. Do you want to hear the best part? US Airways gave me a free roundtrip ticket for my troubles. Redeemable anywhere in the Caribbean and North America within the next year. Grin. God is a giver of good gifts.

I was pretty excited to arrive in Jamaica but I am rather tired. I forgot how loud the night is with all the assorted critter noises. It is however, strangely familiar.

Good night everyone and God bless you. -em
