A wild start... wouldn´t have it any other way!!

Hola mi familia y amigos! Yo estoy en la Antigua Guatemala!! So most of you should have received the travel update from my Pops but here´s a little recap of my journey if you missed it:

Door to airplane won´t close, delay taking off in Denver, doesn´t really matter because there is a storm in Dallas Fort Worth that prevents landing, airplane circles for an hour, we give up land in Abieen, TX (where is that you wonder? I don´t know either). Proceed to sit on the runway there for 2 hours because the ity bitty airport doesn´t have enough security to let us off, finally take off again and land in Dallas, my AA flight to Guatemala is officially cancelled so I re-route myself to Miami, 20 minute connection accross three concources in Dallas, made it by the grace of God, end up in Miami at one in the morning. Phew! I am promised a discounted hotel in Miama by the lovely employees of American Airlines... slight problem, no one is home at the AA office. Good thing I left the comfort of my morning departure gate. Oh well, no taxi to be found in this ghost town they call Miami International Airport. I finally give up and try to sleep next to the ticket counter. Good thing they play really loud elevator style jazz music and make security announcements all night to me and the 2 other people hangin out! Jump on the first flight to Guatemala City bright and early and alas! I made it! Where is my bag? Well, again, the lovely employees of AA are unable to locate it but perhaps it will show up over the next few days?

But I am here!!!! And my family is lovely! And I love it here so much. I have so much more to tell but I am about to be late for my first family dinner so I have to run. I´m sure it will be smooth sailing from here. Love and miss you all!!

p.s. I don´t know how to turn on the english spell check yet so please disregard all of the misspelled words.
