American Airline flight #932 departs at 6:40 a.m. to Miami. Well typical, we were about 45 minutes late taking off due to maintenance, but better safe than sorry!
Believe it or not, even with the flight being late, I made it through customs, picked up my luggage, checked back in for my flight to Orlando, went back through security, and still had plenty of time to spare by the time. I got to my connecting flight! YEAH!
I had a safe flight to Orlando and was met by John. He brought me home to see Jaylee and my kids.
