Well.. Our flight leaving from LA was scheduled for 10:30 PM. We were delayed 45 minutes. Our connecting flight in Ft. Lauderdale, Fl was scheduled for 45 minutes after we landed, so you can guess what that means. We missed our connecting flight to Haiti, by 20 minutes. So we tried to figure out where to go from there. Let me side note and say that we were flying Spirit and they are terrible, terrible customer service, terrible organization. I will never fly them again and would advise anyone I know to not fly them. They told us since the delay in LA was due to them they would hold the flight in FL for us since we were such a big group but clearly they didn't. Sorry I had to let that out, but through this I have definitely gained patience and flexibility. We tried everything we could with Spirit to find another flight or connect somewhere else but they would not accomidate us. So after spending 7 hours in the airport trying to get everything figured out we found seats on the American Airline, but that flight did not leave until Monday morning, so where would we stay for two nights? Thankfully we had a girl on the team whose mom's college roommate lived in the area. This was such a God sent thing. They opened our entire group of 10 people into their home and have been just amazing. They took us to see the Everglades today and they were just gorgeous. So we head out in the morning and everyone is more than excited! Thank you again for all the prayers!
When we were still happy thinking that we were headed straight for Haiti.
The beautiful Everglades.
We had to take a cool team picture with our amazing host family in the Everglades.
