July 31 Travel Home (Final Post)

This morning Jarman and Karina took me to San Pedro Sula Airport to catch my flight from Honduras to Miami. And with no problems along the roads Praise the Lord. I then arrrived in Miami around 4:00 pm got through customs and got my bags. Then I had to find the American Airlines check-in which was the easy part. Checking in was a nightmare they make you do self checkin at the computers then stand in line "forever" about (45 min) in order to check your bags. Once I got that done I got something to eat and went to my gate, where I waited until my 8:30 flight. Finally it was time to board and they had to take us to the plane in a bus, the plane was small and did not come up to the gate. Then I arrived at Jacksonville around 10:20 where my mom and dad was very glad to see me and then we came home to sleep in my own bed "Thank the Lord". I made it home safe with no problems.
