When she finally arrived and was about to deboard<br>the plane, it was 6:35 pm. And her flight had started boarding at 6:15<br>pm. Or so she thought. So she proceeded to run through the Miami<br>airport like a chicken with her head cut off, looking for Gate E5. She<br>passed E7, E6, then... E4? WTF? And let me tell you, the only thing<br ...

... a word of Spanish. This was going to be an adventure.<br><br>As we climbed through the forest and fields we were accompanied by a couple of dogs and a woman who kept trying to offer us a horse.
