Our group of three left Minneapolis on Friday to a downpour of rain, thinking "Oh man, are the tropics ever going to feel good!". The flight to Chicago was uneventful, but once we boarded and taxied for San Juan, the pilot states no planes get to leave do to thunderstorms. So he shuts down the engines and we wait on the plane for two hours waiting for the weather to pass. Finally start rolling again and land in San Juan. We're a 1/2 hour past our take-off time to Bonaire but rush to the gate hoping they've held the flight. I'm not too worried about luggage at this point because I have my vitals with me- first/second stages and mask. Well, we missed the flight so AA puts us up in downtown San Juan for the night. Not another flight until Saturday at the same time. So spent the night drowning my sorrows in a hole-in-the-wall bar in downtown San Juan but generally trying to remain upbeat.

Thanks for the report. I know just how you feel I have so many stories about being stuck in San Juan that I think the people at the hotel are beginning to recognize me. That’s why I’m trying Air Jamaica this November! I figure if I’m going to get stuck some where at least it would be somewhere I haven’t been stuck before. Then I can rationalize it as an adventure instead of dreading that same hotel/casino with the cardboard food and droning slot machines.

Anxiously awaiting your photos, Glenn....great report and trip! You look so handsome standing there in front of the StreetCam! Twice in one year...you lucky dog. Keep your memories fresh in your mind for the Minnesota winter ahead. The barracuda sighting sounded exciting...Big Mama B....she can do whatever she wants to do. Can't wait to see Rtshineto and Boo Boo's pics, too! Thanks for the report. Ayo. Carole
