I won't
lie my first day could have gone better, I was unable to check-in for my flight
to Lima in Denver Colorado, due to the fact my flight home to Ireland was from
Brazil, so the air hostess told me if I booked a flight I could cancel it the
next day in Ft lauderdale for a full refund no problem at all he'd written it
on my account. He gave out about spirit telling me how bad the airline was,
he'd never fly with them. Upon arriving at fort lauderdale I was told I could
not get a refund till I landed in Peru as they needed me to have a flight out
in case I was deported. I was assured somebody would be in Lima to give me a
refund, and again it was written into my account that I would get a full refund
in Lima! Once I got to Lima, I rang the back offices but no one was there I
tried the desks downstairs but no spirit desk was open as no flight was going
out! My taxi man was waiting for me so it added to the pressure, my sleeping
bag had ripped of my backpack. It can't get any worse. . Jumped in the taxi and it was a pretty crazy ride, instead of using
indicators they use horns , they don't believe in lining up in traffic. There
was one car ahead of us so taxi man goes into the right turn only lane to
attempt an overtake at the green light beebs his horn frantically only to be
beeped back at and end up still behind him.
I get to the hostel and sam Is there to greet me he already knows
everybody on the hostel. We had a few beers and were taken to the local night
club - it was massive and nobody spoke a
word of English, me and sam had a great time anyway, easily biggest club of the
summer. Slept grand but that was most likely the beer, woke up and two full
days of travelling I was smelling pretty bad so jumped in the shower freezing
cold and a micro fibre towel to dry myself - this is gonna take sone getting
used to! To be fair I am still smiling, everybody in the hostel is friendly and
chatty could definitely be worse I'm staying away from planes for a while and
as Peter said before he left me in Denver
'that's the spirit' but I'll never fly with them again. Wifi isnt fantastic so pictures are on hold not that I have many of me shouting at spirit employees
