Medellin, Colombia, was a trip we had originally planned for 6 days, but flight cancellations and missed connections left us with only 4 days in this beautiful city. Medellin has come a long way from its reputation three decades ago as a hub for narco trafficking. Today, it’s a vibrant city full of culture, innovative cuisine, and a thriving arts scene that brings in tourists, expats, and remote workers from all over the world. Due to a long delay on our American Airlines flight to Miami, we missed our connection to Medellin. The next flight from Miami to Medellin the following morning was fully booked, so American booked us on the evening flight, which arrived in Medellin later that night. This effectively wiped out two days from our original itinerary. It was not ideal, especially after weeks of planning, but it is part of the reality of travel. Delays happen, plans shift, and sometimes you just have to adjust and make the most of the time you have. The crazy part about this ordeal? It wasn’t even the worst part of this trip.
