Well, we're here. Checked into the hotel and everything, despite being an hour late out of Miami. We boarded the plane, only to sit and sit and sit. First, we had to wait for luggage, I guess from some connecting flight. Also, because the flight was oversold, they had asked for volunteers to stand back and take the next flight. We thought about it, but didn't want to give up our good seats and then get in after dark. I really wanted to walk on the beach, watch sunset, etc. Someone did stand back, though, because we had to wait while they unloaded the luggage, searched for their luggage, and then reload all the bags. TSA rules - if someone isn't on the planes, their bags can't be, either. I suppose that's a good idea, but sitting on the plane for an hour was pretty annoying, too.
The wedding business is big here. We had one bride on our plane - her gown hung in the closet, then she carried it through customs. I saw at least two more women carrying large white bags through the baggage claim/customs area. Guess it would be a pretty place for a wedding if that's what you're looking for. For me, being at home with as many friends and family as possible sounds a lot better, save the exotic locale for the honeymoon.
