in miami en route to guyana, something happened that i’ve been hoping would happen for a while. my flight got delayed overnight! the reason this excited me is that i have a credit card with trip delay insurance covering up to $500 in expenses in the case of such delays, and i’ve always wanted to use it! i’m glad it happened when i didn’t really have anywhere important to be.
to maximize the benefit, i booked a $400 room at the coral gables biltmore hotel! it was very nice, and has one of the largest swimming pools in north america. if only i had more like 24 hours to enjoy the amenities, rather than just 6, but there is always next time. for dinner i headed to ruth chris’s steakhouse in coral gables, where i ordered their $85 t-bone steak. as i was already pushing up against the $500 limit, i couldn’t afford any sides, lol.
a couple weeks later, i got a $500 check. here’s to the next trip delay!
