I'm back friends. Recap, Turks and Caicos was pretty great. Best beach and beach type scenery i've ever seen, just beautiful. Resort was pretty great. I haven't been to many all inclusives because I normally like to try different local places, but the food was all pretty good. Great place for kids. Once we got settled, we pretty much let them run to a few areas. They had a diner type restaurant where the kids could order themselves so we would go eat at good places and they went there and ate themselves a few nights which they loved. All in all, B+ to A- type resort.
The travel there and back was a rough ridin' nightmare. We got to MCI 2ish hours before our flight at 7am and the line to check your bag at American was through the whole terminal. We realized the self check line was a bit shorter so we went there. Got through with very little time, but the American people said we'd be fine......Nope, the security line was maybe longer. Everyone was yelling and losing their minds at how long it took just to check a bag. Security was worse, people were really pissed there. No pre check open which really pissed me off. I got back in the American line to see about rebooking as I knew there was no way we were going to make it. While in line Mrs SF asked if she should bribe someone ahead. I just told her good luck and don't get punched in the face. She called me back seconds later and said to haul ass. I thought she got punched in the face, but instead an amazing Go Cats family let us in front. I kept trying to give them money but they wouldn't take it. If that was anyone you guys know, please let me know, they really helped us. Our friends were not so lucky and missed. They rebooked with Southwest the next day and breezed right through. I saw some folks later at the airport on the way back and they said they rebooked with American the next day and it was the exact same. I haven't flown American much at all, but they apparently really suck ass at everything that comes to getting people on airplanes. Then on the way home, our connecting flight from Miami to KC got cancelled just before boarding. It was late so no chance to get home. Got a hotel and was rebooked the next day on the very convenient and totally reasonable flight pattern of Miami to Phoenix, then to KC. There was a bit over an hour connection and our flight was delayed right at an hour. We had to sprint the airport in Phoenix and barely made the connection. So the moral of this story is eff American Air. They sent me $125 in travel credit after I bitched. ha
