Hi. We´re in Ecuador. No, we don`t have our South American countries confused. It`s been quite the adventure, and we`re less than 48 hours in. We made it to Miami fine, but that`s where the fine ended.
Our first plane pulled back from the gate on time, but people on the ground noticed a hydraulic leak in the nose. 2 hours later, after they determined it couldn´t be fixed, we deplaned and waited another 2 hours in the airport for another plane.
We finally boarded the new, supposedly fine, plane around 9pm and took off for Peru. Part way through our flight, our pilot announced that there was an electrical problem somewhere in the plane and that we would be landing in Guayaquil, Ecuador. That was 4am this morning.
And that´s where we´ve been ever since. All 300 of us have now been in numerous hotels around the city, we´re on our second of the day. While fixing the plane, another problem was found, so we´re supposed to leave this second hotel and go back to the airport at 9pm for an 11pm flight.
If everything now goes as planned, we`ll have been travelling over 40 hours. We got to walk around a bit and took some pictures, so we hope to get those up sometime. Please pray. We`re doing okay, but ready to be where we`re supposed to be!
