There's an old saying "It's always darkest before the dawn".
I call BS on that. No matter how you look at it, 2:00 am is always dark. That's the time we had to leave our house to get to the airport to arrive in time for our flight. Ugh!
We usually fly non-stop, but this year we chose to fly Southwest. Mainly because our usual carrier doesn't start flights to Jamaica until mid December. So we had a layover in Baltimore.
Not so bad, right?
Until you have a medical emergency on board and get diverted to Detroit. Thankfully, the person was okay, but we were cutting our connection close. Real close...as in having the attendants say "Run!!"
Thankfully they held the plane for us.
I apologize to anyone on the flight for having to wait for us....
Four hours later, we landed in our happy place..
I love the smell of diesel fuel, jerk chicken, ganja and ocean that hits you as soon as you get out of the airport.
Our driver was waiting for us with cold Red Stripes and away we went.
Only to be stopped shortly down the road by the worst traffic jam I've seen in Jamaica. An hour and a half later we were finally out of MoBay and flying down to the road to Negril.
