Grenada - Back on Board

I've been back in Grenada for two days now. Meanwhile my baggage has been on a bender in San Juan Puerto Rico -- doing tequila shots, dancing to salsa, and downing way too many margaritas. For me the trip back to the boat was uneventful but long. I was originally scheduled to fly through O'Hare on Tuesday morning but Ice Storm 2007 put the kibosh on that, so I was rerouted through Dallas where I spent the night. In San Juan the next day I arrived at the gate only to hear that the flight was "overweight" and they were asking passengers to voluntarily give up their seats for a $350 credit and a seat on the next Grenada flight. There's only one flight to Grenada each day so they didn't get too many takers and the next step was to bump people. I was fortunate to already have a seat assignment, because out of 60 or so people booked on the flight, only the 43 with seat assignments were allowed to board. After the plane landed, I filled out a missing baggage form and headed to the marina, where Chris, Barb & Kevin were hanging out waiting for me and watching "Deal or No Deal" on satellite. It's now 9am on Friday morning and my baggage just arrived in a taxi, looking bedraggled and hung over but none the worse for the wear. I'm gonna let it sleep it off before unpacking.
