Well, my time here in Medellin has come to an end so sad 😭 because I just don’t know when I’ll be back here as most of the time I’m in Colombia 🇨🇴 I’m in Cali and rarely Bogotá because that’s where my family lives I have nobody in Medellín my grandfather is from neighboring Rionegro but now, he’s leaving in Felidia close to you guess it Cali. And despite me going to Cali over and over again but only coming to Medellín once I’m going to say this, Medellin without a doubt is Colombia’s 🇨🇴 BEST CITY 🏙️🏔️ I’m in LOVE 🥰😍 with it now! But now me and my rich friend head back to José Maria Cordova Intl Airport ( SKRG ) and we will be SPLITTING now he heads to the capital of Bogotá and I head back home to Miami 🏝️😎 but 1st I needed to get my Xbox and all my other stuff I left on the jet and once again like at CLO, the ground crew at MDE did a great job maintaining and keeping the CL35 safe here 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ to them too! 🤩 and we will be joined by a special guest on this trip @DJW who was going to Miami 🏝️😎 with me at 1st but decided to stop in Havana, Cuba 🇨🇺 before resuming his trip up to the 305 🏝️😎 but enough of me talking, LETS BEGIN!!

Unfortunately, this was the best view of the American Airlines Boeing 737-800 taking us up to MIA 🏝️😎 I could get from our gate, and DJ was to the RIGHT of the plane so he sadly wasn’t visible either, but by this time, my friend had already departed MDE on his way to BOG! But let’s just board, yes?
Here we are our seat for this 2 and 3/4 hour flight up to SoFlo 🏝️😎 I lived to regret this seat, but there is DJ out the window 👋👈 todays flight was kind of full so boarding and catering took a little longer than expected, but we still left the gate on time 😁
Apparently, a local MDE spotter 📸 somehow got a DRONE over into the airport area I wonder how 🤔 thankfully, He didn’t cause trouble and actually took this shot of me lining up onto RWY 01 here at MDE with DJ in the foreground about to hold short as I depart!
Our take off out of Medellín today wasn’t the best, crosswinds and I was looking at the weather app and these winds were blowing HORIZONTALLY across the runway compared to other crosswind experiences were they are usually blowing DIAGONALLY across and it was some what strong still more comfortable than the “butter 🧈😮💨” 😅 landing from leg 2 but still, could have gone better but also worse.
Your probably going to ask me, “what’s so wrong about the seat you chose?” Well the views I missed was the problem, on take off people on the other side got this SPECTACULAR 😍🤩 view of Medellín and I missed it ☹️ will things get better?
Climbed to FL340 for this 2 and 3/4 flight up to the 305 🏝️😎 crossing over Colombia 🇨🇴 Jamaica 🇯🇲 and Cuba 🇨🇺 before entering Miami 🏝️😎 from the Atlantic, shortly after take off flight attendants began their service of pretzels 🥨 and a drink of choice I went for my go to combo pretzels and coke! 🥨🥤 by this point there really isn’t much to do on AA’s Boeing 737-800s besides walk around, try to take a nap or watch something on your phone 📱 AAs choices are pretty good and kept me occupied pretty much the entire flight!
I was SOO into this movie 🎥🍿 that we were already crossing over Cuba 🇨🇺 DJ would’ve began descending into Havana by now and hopefully he had a great flight! 😁 and for me, about 40 minutes left before our arrival in Miami 🏝️😎
Here we are 2 hours and 40 minutes later, Miami 🏝️😎 is in sight! Gear is down, flaps are down, spoilers armed and with RWY 27 directly ahead of us, it’s time for landing! Today was also one of those funky days at MIA with RWYs 27, 26L and R in use your instead of the usual RWYs 9, 8R and L and those of us on the left side of the plane also had great view of the 305 🏝️😎 but arguably, the right side view was better still a great view nonetheless let’s just land already in getting quite tired of this seat already!
TOUCHDOWN!! Welcome to Miami International Airport ( KMIA ) and as always with my typical luck 🍀 when traveling, winds were perfect here at MIA for RWY 27 until we started descending that’s when they wanted to change to go ACROSS the runway, thus giving us crosswinds, great 🙄😬 and get this, once we vacated the runway they changed AGAIN to blowing straight down the runways, 10/10 luck 🍀 am I right? but whatever, it’s nice to be back home! 😊🏠
Parked here at gate D22 with one problem, no it wasn’t at passport control 🛂 ( it still took forever though ) and not at baggage claim 🛄 either it was actually on my ride home, I left my car at the airport in Boca Raton, so now I needed to get from MIA to Boca luckily a Tri-Rail train was coming to the MIA station, So I took the MIA Mover a shuttle train between the airport and the rental car center, Metrorail, Metrobus and Tri-Rail stations and took the northbound train up to Boca Raton ten got an Uber to BCT, collected my car and drive back home! 🏠 overall fun trip and definitely the most luxurious ⭐️💸🤑 and normally I don’t tease my next trip but here are some emojis to give you guys a hint:
🏝️✈️📸🇬🇷
But as always, between now and the time, see you in the sky! 😉
