Arrived

So I finally arrived in Grenada… despite the weather and incompetence. My original flight was delayed 2 and 1/2 hours… about 30 minutes of this was due to the weather and clearing the runway. The other 2 hours was due to USAirways' lack of staff, and their incompetence. They only had 1 guy on duty to load the bags, and he was loading planes one at a time. Then the deicer guy shot fluid into the generator :roll: … This shut down electricity to the plane for a while. Finally getting another source of power, the pilot was able to start the engines. This delay caused me to miss all my connecting flights, get re-routed through 5 different airports, and have to stay overnight in Barbados…. Needless to say, my luggage didn't arrive with me… I still have no idea where it is. :evil: wI finally arrived in Grenada about an hour before the start of RA orientation. Spent the day listening to various officials, and touring various offices on campus. (in the rain — evidently the rainy season hasn't ended yet.)
Now I am sitting guard by one of the rooms used for storage after Hurricane Ivan, making sure people only bring out what is theirs. Still to do tonight: 1) Dinner 2) Buy phone card to call parents 3) Buy laundry detergent to wash clothes left on Grenada so I have something to wear tomorrow.
