Guatemala = Fail

Well after nine hours of flying, instead of waking up in beautiful Guatemala City, I woke up on the filthy floor of Miami Interntional Airport. Here’s how it happened.

On our initial approach of Guatemala City literally right before the plane touched down the pilot sharply pulled up and we started to circle the Guatemalan airstrip, evidentaly the runways were too wet. Well we circled a few times before the pilot came on and told us that we had to go to Cancun to refuel. So we went there, refueled, took off, and headed back to Guatemala city…only to be waived off again. After that it was decided that we would go to Miami and then catch the next flight to Guatemala City…at 11am…we landed, I found a spot on the floor, put my earbuds in, and tried to sleep for a couple hours. Now I’m waiting to go for Guatemala City attempt number two.

Oh yeah and the fire alarm kept going of for like an hour while I was trying to sleep, that kinda sucked.
