0747, Wed, 031115. Munjack Cay, Bahamas.
Well, it is always an adventure. First mistake, don't do a bunch of exercise (karate) then go sit in a cramped spot where there is no possible way to move (airline seats) for hours on end. The first flight went pretty well without a hitch. With several hours of layover there was plenty of time for a hiccup. The second leg was crucial since there was only and hour to spare getting my Island Hopper over to Abaco. Of course, that's when things started to go haywire. Obama was in town so that shut down the airport which stopped all the employees from coming to work. Then some nut started running around which shut down the airport again. Finally, we sat in the ever so comfy confines as we waited for clearance. It seems the plane in our slot at the next stop was waiting for a part and couldn't vacate the slot. Glad it was my plane waiting for a part!
I got to the next place just a little late but the ticket agent said RUN, they should be loading. I ran, back through security, threw everything together and off to the plane only to find a two hour delay there. Whew!
Fun to see the changes around the old place. Lots of hugs all around. Lots of boats in the anchorage. We had a little music fest on the beach but it was early to bed.....more later..
