Billy and I left our place around 4:00 p.m. to head to the airport on Marta. Our ride to the airport was pretty uneventful expect for a short delay due to another train breaking down and only leaving one set of the rails open for north and southbound trains. Check-in and security were smooth. Since we were at the airport two hours prior to our fly, we just hung out near our gate.
Our flight to Miami ran smoothly. Billy and I watched Bolt; it was the in-flight movie. It is a very cute Disney film. We were provided with drinks and a small snack of pretzels, sesame chips and cheese sticks. We landed in Miami and headed to our gate for Buenos Aires. There was not much in way restaurants, so Billy and I opted for Pizza Hut. The pizza was not spectacular, but it hit the spot. We were hoping not to stay awake for the inflight meal
We boarded our plane for Buenos Aires on time and took off after a short delay due to needing more time to load the baggage. As we took our seats, we noticed the unpleasant smell that permeated the entire plane…plane food. It has been a while since we have been on a flight in which they served meals. I fiddled with my in-flight entertainment system and decided to watch Marley & Me. I stayed awake long enough to see what they were serving for dinner (lasagna or chicken). Neither item seemed appetizing so I continued to watch the movie and fell asleep about halfway through it. I slept on and off for most of the flight. I woke up for good about 2 hours before we landed.
Breakfast was served about an hour before we landed. We received a croissant with yogurt and orange juice. It was quite tasty. I watched some more of Marley & Me, but then it was time to land so the movie stopped playing. Bummer…I guess I’ll just have to get it from the library to see the ending.
We were finally in Buenos Aires!
