3:05pm flight delayed again
3:51pm status on monitor said “now boarding” – ha ha
4:07pm flight delayed AGAIN

5:35pm flight ahead of us gets canceled
5:55pm they finally bus us to the plane
6:13pm flight canceled – everyone off the plane
7:30pm had dinner at local mexican restaurant
we were told that there would be an extra flight available the next morning which i knew was BS especially since the girl at the service counter who said it refused to give anyone her name. aha ! a clue ! my friend and i tried to have a nice weekend anyway. it was his birthday after all. we had a nice dinner saturday night at a local seafood restaurant which resembled what we might have found in marsh harbour except for the giant killer mosquitoes. we then went for a long bike ride on sunday – a 40-mile torture fest thru north broward. the grand finale was a trip to the beach which ended with the worst sand storm i have ever experienced. overall we had a fun and adventurous weekend.
