Update #2: Grettings From Charlotte?/ Air Planes Stink

So here I am writing in the Quality Inn in Charlotte North Carolina. We got up in Portland this morning to catch our flight which was of course late. The plane wasn't there on time so we left about 45 minutes late. This causeed us to miss our connecting flight in Newark Airport, New Jersey. Luckily they booked us a plan B flight to Charlotte, North Carolina with a conntction to Jacksonville Florida(our final destination). On the way to the gate we were selected for a random search by security! GREAT, not like we're in a hurry or anything! So they took us aside and frisked us down nice and close! Then they looked through EVERY single item we had on us. The emptyed every bag went and through every compartment. So we arrived at our gate just at the boarding time BUT there was no plane there, late again. So an hour later we leave and miss the flight to Jacksonville. So here we are in Charlotte in a hotel at our own cost and our luggage is presumably in Jacksonville as it got on a flight that we couldn't. Yee Haw!

The good thing is that our Hotel is right beside the Cracker Barrel so supper was good! Anyways, our flight leaves, OR IS SUPPOSED to leave at 9:45, so here is hoping! Our Ship boards at noon!
