We get to the airport on time. Say goodbye to Eddie. Take our bags inside and get in line to check-in. We wait maybe 20-30 minutes total and we're checked in. Next we go upstairs and grab a bite to eat at McDonalds before heading through security. While we are eating we realize something is different from the other times in this airport. It's air conditioned now. Boy does that feel good. We go through security and get our to gate about 10 minutes before we are suppose to board. Things are going perfect.
Only problem is there is no plane at the gate where we are suppose to be boarding. Could be a problem. We are suppose to board at 5:05 and leave at 5:35 pm. A little before six the word is the plane is still in Cancun and will be leaving soon but it MAY have to stop somewhere else first to pickup some other passengers. MAY have to stop somewhere else. Sounds a little suspicious from where we are sitting. Of course all these announcements are in Spanish through a megaphone that distorts the sound meaning we have little chance of understanding. Fortunately, a lady near us helps us get the details. All we could get was that we were delayed until about 7:30. No problem.
About a half hour later the word is the plane may, or may not, come tonight. If this plane doesn't make it than we will not be able to leave until the next morning. This is not as good as the last news. On the bright side, they did provide us with a meal while we waited.
Eventually the plane does make it in after stopping to pickup the additional passengers and we get to Honduras only about four hours late. Hey, four hours is a lot better than spending the night at the airport in Guatemala since the only eating place was closing at about 8:00 pm.
