Roatan update

As it turned out Delta Airlines (the airline we are flying) was the only airline not flying in or out of Roatan today, so we're stuck here [Roatan] for one more day.

Everyone else in our group got their business class tickets, but for some reason Delta decided the two sickest people on the airplane didn't need theirs. Go figure.

Our only hope for now is the Continental flight doesn't make it in this morning, so we'll at least have a place to stay tonight. Oh well, such is life.  [BIG SIGH]
