It’s an evil 6am start today, as we’re flying to Miami. We’re all checked out and the taxi gets here at 7am. We think that’s plenty of time as it’s a domestic flight, so we’ve got just under 2hours before we take off……
Oh my god……What a complete FAFF check in was. I actually HATE American Airlines and all their unhelpful, slow as hell staff!! There’s a special bit for all AA passengers to check in with a number of self-service check in points and a number of normal check in desks. However, it seemed that nothing worked and everyone member of staff was telling us different places to check in / put our luggage!! It was a complete stress and I don’t think everyone in our group was coping well with this fiasco.
We had to run up to some random luggage dude and BEG him to take our rucksacks and then run to security. I have a sickening feeling that I’ll never see my rucksack in Miami….however, we manage to get to the departure lounge with no more dramas and can finally chill the hell out. I do a little people-watching and spy this plastic woman who clearly wants to be Pamela Anderson…..and her handbag is moving….oh look, she is taking her pet Chihuahuas to Miami with her…on a plane….in a handbag!!! I don’t think American’s get the idea that that maybe cruel?! Such a dozy mare….
The flight is about 5hours and we get sweet FA in regards to beverages and food – what?! You have to pay over the odds for it – grrr – so needless to say, we starve as Dave is being tight!!! We get to Miami and its uber humid and also looks like its been raining – nooo!!! I need sun and beach time!!!
We get a cab to our hostel and it’s a funky wee place with FREE grub – whoohoo!! They’ve booked us into our own apartment, which is a few blocks away and is really cute. We’ve got cable, 2 double beds and a single bed with a small kitchen. Aaron is on the camp bed, in the servant quarters!!! Vanstone aint feeling too good so she crashes out while the boys go out exploring and I watch the box! They bring back pizza n juice – all good!
