Day 1 of our Make a Wish vacation

It’s time to start posting about our Make a Wish trip. To start off we had a blast, even with the mishaps. We left Saturday morning, our limo arrived bright and early at 6:30am, we made it to the airport and our first example of the benefits of Make a Wish was getting to skip the long line of checking luggage, we were directed to a very short line and were not charged for my (overpacking) over weight bag. The first part of the plane ride was interesting. We were supposed to change planes in Houston TX. When we reached Houston, the airport was shut down because of a bad storm so we were directed to Austin where we waited a few hours then made our way to Houston. The landing in Houston was terrible, really terrible. The plane was all over the place. I was scared. Madison and Austin loved it. (To be a kid again.) We waited in Houston for a couple hours and arrived in Florida about 10:45 (Florida time) and went to get our bags. With all the issues in Houston our bags had not made it to Florida so I waited in a line to fill out the lost luggage forms and we finally made it to the Village at about 1am (Florida time). Even though it was a really long day, all the kids did great
