Back in the USA! Hallelujah!

Finally landed back in the USA (Miami, that counts as the US, right?) at about 5:15am. Took about 75 minutes or so to clear customs & claim & recheck our luggage. We were heading to our concourse when we noticed an 8am flight to Charleston. We were all very excited at the possibility of getting home 5 hours earlier, so we headed to the to ticket counter to change our flight. Unfortunately, we were looking at arrivals instead of departures. We are on the earliest flight. Just an attempt by the enemy to steal our joy. Weak! Not gonna happen! We have been released on our own (dangerous!) until we regroup at 11:30 to catch our 1pm flight home. BTW, you do more walking at the Miami airport than anywhere I've ever been. Its incredible! Time for more eating & people watching. Tchau!
