I just returned from an Airline Ambassadors trip. I took a little boy named Christian DeCenas from St. Louis to Miami. Originally I was to take him to Miami and bring two little girls (Kelin and Raquel - read about them in prior blog entries) along, and take them home to Tegucigalpa, Honduras. Sadly, a TACA airliner crashed in TGU and the airport was permanently closed, so their trip has been delayed. But I was still needed to take Christian to Miami. From there, an Eagle F/A named Derek would take him to Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic. 
I flew up to STL the night before and then met Christian and his wonderful host family at the airport at 4:45am (nice and early). Our flight to Miami was fine. The crew was great and real helpful. We got to Miami a bit early and I handed him over to Derek and as luck would have it, got on a flight bound for home that was delayed from earlier so I did not even have to sit around Miami and wait at all.
I am a bit sad that I won't be able to take Kelin and Raqeul home. They will be going now into San Pedro Sula at the end of the month, but their travel dates conflict with some international training I have scheduled. The good news is Kelin's scoliosis has been corrected and Raquel has had some preliminary work on her bilateral hip dislocation so both girls are on the mend.
