When we awoke at home at 4:00am, the temperature was -13 and
after we arrived at the airport, we would out that it was also too cold for
airplanes.
They were able to get the plane started; however, they said
it was too cold for some of the instruments to work properly. Finally at around 9am or so, they allowed us
to board and it felt great – but only for a few minutes because then they took
us off the plane and told us the flight was cancelled.
Since we would have missed our flight in Atlanta anyway, I
had them previously protected us by booking the 4:30pm and 7:00 pm flight from
Atlanta to San Juan. Now all we had to
do to get to Atlanta.
After just a little bit of time, they announced that because
there were so many international passengers, they were flying in a replacement
plane from Atlanta. It was supposed to
get to Bloomington by 11:00am and it finally arrived at about 1:30pm. We all boarded quickly and the flight to
Atlanta was uneventful, finally!!
We made the 4:30pm flight to San Juan and we were on our way
on time and upgraded to first class. The
coach section of the plane was 3 & 3 seating so we were very fortunate for
this 3 ½ hour flight. They served us a
great meal and we watched a movie on the iPad.
We arrived in San Juan right on time, 9:00pm their time (we
are two hours ahead of Illinois) and we took a cab to the hotel. This is a nice Marriott Courtyard and right
on the beach.
We walked around a little bit, went through the casino and
then it was time to go to bed after a long day traveling to San Juan.
At bedtime the temperature was 76 degrees – WOW we are here. We have only Friday and then we board the
Celebrity ship the Summit on Saturday and most of our time will probably be on
the beach.
