Today was a bit hectic to say the least. Our original flight was supposed to leave after 8:00am, but during the early hours of the morning our flight got delayed because of workers needing to complete their rest hours. We were all happy with the extra few hours of sleep, but this put our arrival time to Orlando too close to our departure time to go to San Juan. When we got to the airport... imagine Home Alone where everyone realized they left Kevin. Louise was running back and forth among all of the different airlines desks, trying to figure out where everyone was going to go. Spirit Airlines employees, Monica and Lynette were life-savers. The solution to this issue was going to be that Tony was going to take all of PSU New Kensington, Courtney, DJ, Ronni, Wyatt, and Sabrina. Turns out this could not be completed either, so everyone mentioned previously ran to security in separate batches (we were not sure where they were going after Orlando). Louise, Tyler, and I stayed back with the incentive of Spirit Airlines vouchers and a hotel room in Robinson. PSU New Kensington (Paulina, Ashley, and Adam), Tony, Courtney, Wyatt, and Sabrina are almost to San Juan. Ronni and DJ had to stay the night in Orlando where they will leave tomorrow morning for San Juan. TJ, Natalie, and Rachel are all in Orlando where their flight to San Juan keeps getting pushed back and they are expected to arrive at 3:44am tomorrow. For those of us staying near Pittsburgh Airport, we got to our hotel after 6 hours of airport nonsense. Then we went to have lunch/dinner at Bravo. After our meal, we came back to the hotel to relax by doing homework and watching Golden Girls (Tyler's request) while also staying up-to-date with the Saga: Will PSU make it to PR? Stay tuned with us tomorrow on the next episode of ASB.
No matter the struggle that we have gone through today, it will never add up to the struggle that the people of Puerto Rico have gone through. WE ARE going to make it to PR and serve the community of Puerto Rico.
