Got up at 4.30am. Got to the airport just after 6.30am and it took till 8am to be check through security even though the queue wasn't very long. The plane took off on time and I had two great meals. Went over GreenLand which looked amazing with all the snow. Had a very anoying guy infront of me who though it was funny to talk like Andy from Little Britain the whole flight. Also the Liverpool football team was on the flight but think they were the 2nd team as I didn't recognise any of them. They were on route to dallas.
I was sat next to a lad who couldn't have been any older then 16. he was travelling to see his dad who was serving in the army in America. I got off at Chicago, through customs with no problems and got the train to the next terminal. Was lovely and sunny outside. The flight from Chicargo took off on time and we had to dodge some thunder storms on the way. Just like the flight from Manchester there wasn't anything decent to watch. We Landed in miami and waited for ages for the plane to park.
When we did finally get off the plane we had to walk and get the tram all the way across the airport like lemmings to get our bags. My bag was the last bag to come out. I lugged my backpack still in its carry case to the door looking for the pick up point for the hotel shuttle buses. No sign of them so I went back insude and tired to find a member off staff who spoke English. Eventually got directed upstairs to an undercover carpark which was vry dark. When I stepped off the lift it was very clear that this was not the place where I was ment to be.
The only people walking past rathjer speedily were Latin-Americans, Wierdos or lone males. Eventually an American couple walked past and I asked them for help. They weren't sure but the guy very kindly lent me his phone to ring the hotel which was very nice of him. I was ment to be on the floor below.
When I got the the pick up point it was a case of jumping oput infront of the shuttle buses when it passed but I was so tired that I was willing to risk getting run over. I really didn't care at this point as I had been traveling for 21 hours.
Hotel was basic but was ok. And does no onje listen. The amount of texts I got off people thinking I was still in England. tut tut.
P.S I HATE MIAMI AIRPORT!!!
