Getting to Belize

So Belize was pretty incredible.
We had a hell of a time trying to get there though!!!

At 3:45am on July 27th we were en route to Chicago O'Hare to catch our 6am flight to Miami. At 4am we received a phone call telling us that our flight had been CANCELLED! So we had the cab driver turn us around. We got back to Evanston and started calling American Airlines to try to get it figured out. I finally got ahold of someone and we switched our flight to go to Arkansas and then Dallas and then Belize. So we got into the car and Dave drove us to the airport. We made our flight, but then of COURSE, our flight to Dallas was cancelled. The people in Arkansas were amazing, and they rerouted us onto another airline. So now we flew to Houston, and then onto Belize City. At this point we arrive in Belize at 4:45pm and the LAST flight to Placencia was at 5pm. They told us we would not make it, but we breezed through customs and ran to the flight with 5 minutes to spare.

We arrived via teeny plane to Placencia and made it to Casa At Last (for real!) by 6pm. It was quite a trip and we were very happy to have arrived.
