I almost died

I am officially back in the Dominican Republic!! It was a crazy flight over here. We attempted to land on the island initially and bailed on the descent because of an intense rain storm. We then waited the rain out a little bit and the pilot decided that we’d go through a little bit of turbulence, but we’d be ok to land the plane. As we were very near landing the plane our pilot decided that it definitely was not safe and at the last second decided to bail from landing again. However, this time as we were lifting out we flew right through the center of this huge thunderstorm and insanity broke loose. There were people throwing up next me, the plane was going up and down frequently, the lady next me was nervously laughing and asking if this was normal (it definitely was not), and it was nuts. However, by the grace of God we survived and landed the plane north of the island on a set of islands called Providenciales.
In Providenciales, we were asked to stay on the plane. Apparently, we were carrying some sort of deadly virus or something because the local health commissioner would not let us out without proper paperwork. So we waited about an hour on the plane while a group of local women with the airport checked all the seats of the plane for signs of mold or something? (The question mark is because I fell asleep and I really just don’t know.) They then left and the captain informed us that we could then return to land on the island of Hispaniola and my partial home, the Dominican Republic.
I LOVE THIS COUNTRY!
