We were on a AA flight that was fixing to land when the pilot aborted the landing. As we veared to the left, I looked out. All I could see was the first 100 feet of the runway and then a solid wall of rain that obscured everything within it.We were able to land about 25 minutes later. I had the same problem at my hotel where they lost our reservation.Looking forward to meeting you as we will be on the Bayou Blogger's cruise Dave John,

Hearing your story makes me think of my lovely life and her various reasons as to why she won't fly American Airlines anymore (and FYI, AA is based out my city..Dallas; therefore, flying is not easy with her). Brings back many unpleasant memories, but thankfully you did get to where you needed to be. I hope things quickly improve and you guys start feeling better soon. Welcome back to normalcy :) David Hi John/Heidi:

At least you got that smiley face at the end, right??? It probably all happened because you shut your finger in the door and swore in Italian.

So sorry for all your travel issues! However, look at the bright side. Heidi and you have been looking forward to this for quite a while. The joys of parenthood are great! I as well as many others joke about our children and allowing new parents to "borrow" them on a test run. The truth is I doubt any of us would actually do so. Meeting Heidi and you on our cruise I'm sure you will both be wonderful parents! Best of luck, and hopefully we will be able to make the '09 Blogger's Cruise!!Our Love to you both!!John & Leona John,

I hopethe Freedom folk welcomed you back and are treating you VERY nicely. I have been to Jamaica and it is the worst place I have ever been in my whole life. I absolutely hated it, rude people, pushy street vendors who scared us silly and the driver we had on our tour was something else, probably the father of your driver or perhaps his older brother. Anyhow, hopefully for you things will be better next time for you. Look after that finger and don't let it get infected. Have a lovely week at sea, you lucky people.Nora Hi John and HEIDI, It is now Sunday and I hope that you have more or less recovered from your terrible day on Friday.

Do what I just did...I had a bad day today, so I put in the DVD of you're birthday party, and in no time I was smiling and laughing and enjoying seeing you and my family again. I will play that DVD everytime I am down. By the way, I forgot to pick up my scrapbook before I got off the ship, are you and Hedi done with it? LOL. Did you get all the way through it yet? Maybe you should look at it now and feel all the love everyone put into it...it might make you smile. John,

Sorry to hear about your finger! I have had my slammed in a door before and know your pain! Hope the pain eases real soon and heals quickly!From the sound of your flight situation, you may have been better off flying to Ft. Myers. I have not had to deal with immigration in Miami, but I hate that airport. It's dirty and some of the rudest people in the travel industry! I would fly into Ft. Lauderdale and pay for the transfer rather than dealing with MIA ever again!I hope that you and Heidi had a relaxing evening before heading to the Freedom. You can finally get settled in again and put those suitcases away!I can't believe they charged you over $100.00 for the weight overage at the airport. You may want to add another bag next time to balance the extra weight!We will keep you and Heidi in our thoughts and prayers for "smiley" stick to be accurate and a little "John" or "Heidi" show up in 9 months!
