OK, so note to self, when one is flying from the US to Colombia, JetBlue airlines will want to see an outbound flight booking from Colombia to make sure you haven't signed yourself up as a drug mule or something to that effect. We unfortunately ran into that problem today in Orlando airport, en route to Bogota from JFK, something I think we had both had thought of previously and was in the back of our minds, but chose to ignore it, along with the other voices in my head...............aaaaannnyyhoooo, some frantic web searching for cheap flights and teary outbursts later, we've decided to spend the night in some scary, serial-killer-style motel in Orlando (man it's ROASTING here, it's nightime, cloudy and rainy, yet I'm still sweating like the proverbial pig) while waiting for our flight on standby to Bogota tomorrow. Minor mishap, hopefully, and back on the horse again tomorrow, but it hasn't done much for my "what-the-hell-have-I-signed-up-for?" mantra ever since my emotional breakdown in Dublin airport having said goodbye to my parents, standing in a pool of my own tears. But on the plus side, Kev spotted a signpost for an area in Orlando called Conway....
So, South America has been warned of our delayed departure, I expect the red carpet will have been rolled in for tonight but will be there when we arrive tomorrow :)......
