So in hindsight it turns out that the storm last weekend was the beginnings of Hurricane Nicole. We knew it was a good sized storm as it was happening but I didn't want to make a big deal about it knowing what the islanders have experienced in the past Well when we heard and saw the results of the storm on Sunday we realized it was more than just a regular event kind of thing.

We flew home on Wednesday late (American departure at 5:15pm). PJIA was busy but not mobbed that afternoon. We initially sat in the big room where it was cooler, plenty of seating and cold beer in a glass (wow). We walked to the plane just outside Gate 7 and actually departed early. Flight was fairly full. We smoothly skirted our way around the now hurricane storm on our way to Charlotte with just very minimal turbulence. We were lucky. In and out of Charlotte was a breeze (love that airport). Customs and immigration took 5 minutes.
