Day 10 & 11 - Not So Fast

Our flight left at 11:40 on Sunday, the 26th of Nov., but Casey and I were still in the airport. We were in the airport at 11:50, 12:00am, and even 12:20am before they decided that it was necessary to inform us that our flight would not be leaving that night because it needed a part. Did I mention that this was after most of us saw the pilot and the flight attendants get off the plane with their luggage and turn the lights on the plane off? They also said that taxis would be coming to transport all of us to a hotel and that we would get money for breakfast and lunch. Fortunately, we got to the hotel by 1:30, but they were still checking people in at 4:00am in the morning. Granted, it was a nice hotel and our lunch was really good, but we didn't end up leaving until 9:00 the next night. Because we were leaving so late, Janelle and Garth picked us up and we went to one more beach for a last hoorah. It had the biggest children's playground I have ever seen and it was fun to play on too : ) At least we got to spend more time on such a beautiful island, and Casey also mangaged to get most of our flights refunded with his wonderful persuasion skills : ) All in all, it wasn't that bad. The worst part was our drive home from Phoenix because the weekend we were coming home, a storm decided to roll in and it took us 3 more hours to get home than usual. Luckily Jay and Jason Tanner helped us out and were constantly giving us weather reports and advice for driving in the snow.
