Hello from Fort Lauderdale Florida!
Today has been a crazy long day, it is 9:32pm right now and I have been up since 5:30am.
Our flight wasn't until 10:30am but my dad wanted to make sure all of us had a good amount of time for security and such.
We sat in our terminal for a solid three hours before bording our flight, my lovely father went to carribou coffee and got me a cappiucino but it was so bitter and hot that barely drank it.
I found a McDonalds in the airport so I got food and grabbed a handfull of sugar packets for my bland coffee...barely worked but it is what it is.
We people watched (when I say we I mean my dad, marty, kris, brandon, nick, and myself) then boarded our plane...keep in mind that it has been snowing for a few hours.
We get on the plane and everything seems to be running smoothly, then the pilot goes on the intercom and says the wings have to be de-iced...yeah that took and hour.
Once we get in the air all you can hear are babies screaming and crying, and the guy behind me going shh shh shh shh (he did this the WHOLE time).
Our plane proceeds to hit some turbulance and bounce all over the place...not so bad, I love when my stomach drops.
I forgot to mention, to get from Detroit to Fort Lauderdale by plane its about 2 and a half hours.
The pilot goes onto the intercom again during the tubulance and says that Fort Lauderdale is on storm watch so the runways are closed until further notice...so we are flying aimlessly now.
After about 20 minutes the pilot goes on the intercom AGAIN and says that we were running low on fuel so we were going to land in West Palm Beach and refuel then go to Fort Lauderdale.
We land in west palm beach (after a rough landing) and a lot of passengers decide to get off there instead.
After we refuel and get more comfortable in the seats of the people the got off, we are slowly moving down the runway when it just starts to downpour and we have to wait for the okay to go.
After ANOTHER half an hour we leave for our 15 minute flight to Fort Lauderdale. We sat on that airplane for 6 and a half hours today.
THEN we get to our hotel, on the website it looked very decent and nice. In real life it is the biggest dump I have ever seen.
The paint is chipping, lights are burned out, 1 of the 2 keys don't work on the door, tv doesn't work, phone doesn't work, big gap between door and ceiling, writing on the wall, weird scent, air conditioning hanging off the wall...just a dump.
So my dad and I went to search for a new hotel for the rest of the week...we are out of here tomorrow yo!
I am watching the real world: D.C. with my pops now and its all about sex so its a tad awkward.
