Flight

We left for the airport on Tuesday morning, and when we got off the bus in Montego Bay, Scott went on a mission to find us two foods we hadn't had yet: cheese patty and spice bun and cheese. We wandered around downtown, with much less hassle than the first time, even though we had luggage. We found a place called Tastee which serves Jamaican patties. Scott ordered us all a cheese patty which is the equivalent of an American fast food cheeseburger. It consisted of taco meat and cheese put in a flaky pastry crust and fried.

We then waited outside a store for it to open so we could get the spice bun and cheese. As we waited an armoured car came up to deliver the money for the registers. Two men got out with money and another walked up with a shotgun. The only troubling part was that the finger was always on the trigger.

We flew out of Montego Bay without issue and landed in Fort Lauderdale along with 3 other planes. A few people behind us said, "we've never seen it this bad." As we stood in line for customs, many people were chatting about how they had a connection in 30 minutes and that they would miss it. I would guess about 25% of our plane missed their connection. We stood in line for an hour and a half and were actually thankful for our extended layover.
We arrived in DC that night at 11 pm and my sister's boyfriend John picked us up. We drove to Georgetown to my brother's house and crashed for the night.
