The Day we had 6 meals and 2 hotel rooms

After eventually persuading American Airlines that, under their new award system, a trip from the Caribbean to Bermuda should be one award and not 2, we finally got our flight home ticketed for Saturday 6th June - one of the very few days that we were able to make it back from Grenada to Bermuda in a day. No overnighters so I didn't hesitate loading up the bags..... I should have guessed we were doomed...

Alarm went off 5am, breakfast 6am and we arrived at the airport at 7am to be told the flight wasn't leaving til 7.30pm! (thanks for notifying us..) We were given a hotel room and food vouchers (Jimmy enjoyed Charlotte's share!) for breakfast (2nd of the day), lunch and dinner. Plane finally took off at 8.30pm and we were given dinner No.2 on the plane.
Checked in to hotel in Miami about 1.30am (2nd hotel room of the day) and offered dinner (No. 3!!).

The following day more delayes on our flight to Bermuda and we were finally back sunday night about 10.30pm.
Charlotte was tired but made it back school the next day - I then celebrated my first "day off' in 4 months by unpacking....

Jimmy is about to sail the boat to Trinidad from Grenada with my brother-in-law Alan where it will be taken out of the water and left on the hard for hurricane season
