Miami madness

We got picked up by the Super Shuttle at 910am to head out to Newark International Airport for our flight down to Miami. We were scheduled to stop over in Charlotte for an 1hr before flying to Miami International Airport.

All went well until we in line to take off for the last leg to Miami when the captain said we were returning to the gate as we had a cracked window down the back of the plane. He then went on to advise us each passenger window is in fact 3 windows -1 cosmetic and 2 structural so this was a simple procedure to fix. We took off about 40 minutes later heading for Miami.

About 1/2 hr out of Miami we were told there were thunderstorms that were bad enough to have closed the airport and as we running low on gas we were diverted to Fort Myers. We stayed on the ground there until the thunderstorms had moved on and finally took off again to head to Miami. We finally landed, grabbed our bags, got the courtesy shuttle across the Interstate to the Hilton. Thoroughly exhausted we arrived at our destination at 910pm - some 12 hrs after we left Jacqui's apartment in New York.
