Day one of trip

    I haven't been able to write for a while because it has been hard to find time, so I'm starting off with my first day of my trip to the U.S. After waiting a few boring days between our vacation to the beach and our trip to the United States. Finally on the 22nd we headed to the airport around 11 am. We made our flight on time and I sat alone next to a guy from Minnesota. He was very nice and we talked for a while about why we live in panama, how we like it, and our plans for the holidays. I watched a few episodes of The Office and 30 Rock on the plane and by the time we were ready for landing he had drunken 4 vodkas and was drunk. My whole family was laughing from the row ahead and we kept joking about him for the rest of the night.
    We arrived at Miami Airport and had a three hour layover. We saw our grandparents briefly and ate dinner with them at a Cuban restaurant. It was great to see them after not seeing them for many months. We said bye and we headed to our gate at the far end of Miami Airport. Our flight left at 8:30 and we were at our gate with ten minutes to spare. Just then Carolina realized our error, we were at the wrong gate. Ours was at the far end of the airport and we only had 10 minutes. We ran like you had never seen before and hopped on the tram to our gate. By some miracle our flight had been delayed 13 minutes and we made it by a nick of time. The flight to DC wasn't as long and it passed by with the anticipation of seeing our cousins. By the time we arrived it was 11pm and we went pretty much straight to sleep. I can't wait to see my cousins tomorrow.
