hoping the storm will pass
or
head to Kingston."
A minute later:
"We have decided to head to Kingston, we are low on fuel"
Dude......Good choice!!
I thought we would be flying "around" the storm on the way to Kingston.
NOT,
we flew right through that darn storm.
Thunder and lightning strikes right outside my window.
Nothing but flashes of bright light!
Still, could not see a thing!
Never been on a plane that jumped/dropped and bumped for a good 5 minutes.
I was scared as H---.
But I thought,
"I have gifts and toys! We can't crash!
I got kids waiting on me!
Finally cleared the bad weather and it was smooth cruising.
Got a chance to see the other part of the Island.
Finally landed in Kingston, sat for about 3 hours to Re-fuel.
It was so stuffy and hot and humid on that plane, just sitting there.
Eventually the Co-Pilot opened the plane door so we could get some fresh air.
Took off and landed in Montego Bay, got to Negril after dark.
Oh yeah,
One lady yelled as we disembarked from the plane:
"THAT WAS THE FLIGHT FROM HELL, I NEED A DRINK!!!"
