Kristi and I are on our way to St. Lucia. We have to change planes a few times before we arrive. Our path was Charlotte to Miami - Miami to San Juan - San Juan to St. Lucia. The flight from Charlotte went great!
When we arrived in Miami the flight was delayed. About 30 minutes later they made an announcement "The flight has been canceled; please line up. SO i waited about 3 hours to find out we could not fly until the morning. American gave us money to eat and hotel compensation. The next morning we boarded our flight to San Juan. We are ready to land and we touch down. The plane jerks forward?! I thought man, what a bad stop and went on with other thoughts. Kristi noticed a rescue truck and said "Hey Landon, Look they must be cleaning up debris!!!!!!!!! Ummmm Kristi, No this fire truck was following us along with 4 or 5 other trucks. During the flight the planes hydraulic system went out so the landing gear could not go down. The pilot had to manually crank it down. Also when we landed the brakes did not work and that was the jerking sensation. So they would not let us off!!! After the fire crew inspected the plane we had to be towed in which took about 40 minutes...... We did make it to St. Lucia finally. Point being if you land and see a fire truck following a plane they are not picking up debris....LOL I love my wife :)
