Adventures in Traveling pt 1



What a week we have had! We just got back from a 4 day Cruise from Fort Lauderdale to Cozumel. There is so much to share about our trip I am going to break it up into 3 parts.
Part 1- Travel
Part 2- The Cruise
Part 3- Cozumel

We had an absolutly fabulous time despite a little snag. We flew down to Florida on Wednesday night on Skybus Airlines. Both Jason and I felt pretty sick in some way on the flight, we still aren't sure why, but once we hit the ground we felt much better-we think the cabin pressure was off but everyone else seemed to be fine. We planned to fly back on Skybus Monday evening after getting off the boat. BUT...on Sunday morning we found out that Skybus went out of business cancelling all flights from Saturday on. Now what are the chances that we a.)Were out of town b.)had flown Skybus c.)were in Mexico when they made the announcement! I mean come on....what are the chances. Luckily one of our family members on the boat had been watching one of the news channels and saw it go across the screen. We really thought they were joking when they told us. Determined not to let it spoil our vacation we emailed our friends asking them to do a little research so we would know our options-email was our best options considering it cost $13 a min to call out and .55 cents a minute to email. Luckily our friends had been working on this for us before we even know about it and reserved us a flight a day after we had planned and had made arrangements for us to stay with a friend in Miami.
Here we are with our friend Joey-we had a great time hanging out in Miami.


Our original flight was going from Ft Lauderdale to Charlotte to New Orleans to Columbus. We decided to get to the airport early and see if we could get a better conection. We ended up getting a connecting flight to Columbus from Charlotte without paying any extra! This was a total blessing. And guess who we ran into at the Charlotte airport?



Univeristy of Kentucky Basketball player Ramel Bradley! Jason reconized him as he was going into the bathroom and called out his name. I was really confused until I realized who he was. And can you believe Jason had his UK shirt on? How cool. Thank you Skybus!
