As soon as we woke up we went to Mass - Junior (my bro), my mom & I.

My dad went to bed super late because, like always, he waited until the last minute to pack his things… so he couldn’t go with us.

After mass ended: I took a shower as soon as we got home.  My bro & mom went to Pepe’s Tacos and got us some lunch because there was no way we were gonna make it on time to the airport if my mom was going to cook. I took the fastest shower of my life and by the time I was done my bro was back with the food. As soon as we finished eating it was time to head over to the airport.

Our flight time was 4:05PM with American Airlines, so we had to be there at around 2PM. Unfortunately, we got there at 2:45. The good thing is that O’Hare is super quick with check-in. It has a computer system you  can do on your own. You can even swipe your passports through it for Identity confirmation. So we did that in ~10 minutes and went through security & onto our gate without any problems. We didn’t have problems in Miami either since our luggage went straight to La Paz. We didn’t have to deal with hauling any of it around during the lay-over. When we arrived in Miami it started to rain. This caused our flight to be delayed ~2 hours! So we were in Miami from about 8:30-12:30 doing nothing. We ate dinner at Uno’s Pizzeria (because it said it had Chicago-style Pizza). My dad and I both ate some peperoni pizza and drank bottle water.

On the flight from Miami to La Paz they played the movie “Becoming Jane.” A film about Jane Austen that I had already rented at home. I loved it so I made my dad watch the ending and he actually seemed to like it. My mom on the other hand didn’t like it at all because of the british accents. LAME-O!

Anyways, after the movie ended I put my head on my dad’s shoulder and slept as best I could. Trust me a 8 hour flight on any plane can put your whole body to sleep!
