What a day...

Alright so today has been an extremely stressful day. I woke up at 4:30 to then head to La Guardia airport. I get in line to board the plane and they tell me that my backpack is too big and that I need to gate check it- I had my computer and my camera and all of that stuff in it, but they made me gate check it. Then I figure out that they were trying to transfer it to Guatemala via American Airlines not TACA, which is what I was flying on the 2nd part of the trip... so they had to get it out from under the plane and bring it and try to fit it in an over head compartment. That was hectic and the plane was waiting for me to deal with it and it was extremely embarrassing. So i get to Miami and I have to walk all the way across the airport to get to my terminal... i guess there was a tram but I never found it. Then I get in line check in and its all good until i try to go through security and they tell my that my backpack is too big and it needs to be checked... so i quickly go by a bag to put all my important stuff in a bag I buy at the gift shop, check my backpack and run to my gate. I thought that it was going to board early so I was rushing. I was so frazzled, but then my plane wasn't boarding so I could relax a little, get some coffee and then we boarded. I actually thought the flight was not too bad except then when I landed and got through customs... only my backpack was at baggage claim..

my luggage is in Miami, so lets hope it gets here tomorrow or else it will be even more of a mess :/. My host family seems nice, I'm staying in a nice house in Antigua- I have one roommate, but there are others in the house. Tomorrow is my orientation, which will hopefully also include my luggage.

Tonight will include a good nights sleep and hopefully tomorrow I will wake up more relaxed and ready to start my day in Antigua.

buenas noches
