Jamaica - Part 1 - Travel, The Flight

The first time to Jamaica! Hopefully it's not the last!  The 6 of us drove up to Minneapolis together and had dinner before heading to bed so we could be up early and at the airport for our flight.  We had dinner and drinks prior to bed just to make sure we'd all look like hell in the morning!

While we were waiting in the airport, that's when we were first 'Joelle' one of our flight attendants. 

There's some trouble waiting to happen, right there!  Our plane was sparsely populated, which was great so I could stretch out and stand when needed.

The way the Good Lord intended the Twin Cities, from an elevated perch!

I can't recall if this is flying over Jamaica or if this is over Cuba...  We flew pretty much over the middle of Cuba and I seem to recall it being very barren, so I'm leaning Jamaica here.

Definitely Jamaica and I'm starting to get excited!  Of course, I'm in an air conditioned plane so my senses will be shocked once we get off of the plane.

Now we're talking!

On the ground and ready to depart our space craft!

Slightly different than American airports!!!  You walk outside and there's all kinds of locals selling various beverages and there's a band playing!  How they heck they tune their instruments in this heat and humidity is beyond me, but they sounded pretty good!

Oh well, we're off to find our bus and hit the trail for the 2 hour bus ride to our resort!
