A funny thing happened on the way home from a 9 day study tour in Belize - we got to add 1 more day!
Tuesday morning, we traveled by water taxi from Caye Caulker to Belize City. Then we caught a taxi to the airport. There was lots of traffic, so our driver took a very scenic route. I thought it was neat when we drove by the Canadian consulate. At the airport, we found out that our 3:15 PM flight had been delayed to 4:15. Then 6:15. Then 8:15. It had something about problems with the landing gear. I was happy to give them all the time they needed to fix the problem. Finally the plane arrived and we boarded. We arrived in Miami about 3 hours after our connecting flight left for Toronto. American Airlines was awesome though - they had our hotel rooms and meal vouchers all arranged. My head hit the pillows at 12:45 AM and I slept soundly.
The next morning, we returned to the airport and caught a 10:25 AM flight to Toronto. As we stood outside the terminal waiting for the hotel shuttle, everyone was under dressed and shivering. Back at the hotel, there were hugs and warm wishes all around. We parted ways with big smiles and warm hearts.
This is the end of the Ridgetown Campus Belize Study Tour blog for 2013. I hope everyone enjoyed reading about our adventures!
I wish everyone a joyous and peaceful holiday season.
Merry Christmas
Chris
