Trying to get to Belize
So, getting to Belize turned out to be an adventure all of its own. We were scheduled to fly out of Milwaukee at 5:30 am on Monday morning. Mike checked the website at about 1:30 to check if our flight was on time- it was canceled. We were supposed to fly through Charolette and they got several inches of snow that night. So, we called US Airways like we were supposed to be put on hold for 2 hours and then they hung up on us. So, we had to call back and wait another hour and half to talk to a person. Who tells us pretty much there is nothing she can do for us except put us on a plane on Wednesday. We didn't like the sounds of that and since we had lots of time waiting on hold we knew we could get a flight on Contential flying out of Chicago that would still get us to Belize that day. So, we canceled our US Air tickets, bought new ones on Contential and rushed to get O Hare. We of course got stuck in rush hour traffic and so by the time we got to the counter there was only 30 minutes to our flight. At which time we found out we didn't have tickets, we only had reservations and there wasn't time to issue us tickets for that flight. They got us on an afternoon flight to Houston and an early morning flight to Belize. Thankfully, O Hare has an awesome children's play area that kept Lillianna entertained for pretty much the whole day since we were there all day. When we got to Houston the Continetal customer service was amazing. They put us up in a Hotel for free and gave us vouchers for free dinner and breakfast. Even though it really wasn't even their fault we were stuck there. Everything went smoothly on Tuesday and we were on Tobacco Caye about 2 hours after originally scheduled ready to start our vacation.
