We are wheels up in less than 6 hours and I think it’s finally actually setting in. We have been fortunate to visit so many times but this trip is hitting a little differently and I’m a ball of emotions (and caffeine
and adrenaline) this morning.
-Suitcases are loaded.
-DH unlocked a new level of suitcase Tetris last night loading the suitcases into the car last night so we wouldn’t have to do it this morning
-In line to buy donuts as a tip for our airport shuttle drivers (okay actually my father and stepfather and so far they get a 5 star Yelp review for their friendly and attentive service and low rates)
-finally had the meltdown I’ve been waiting for about whether or not we are giving ourselves enough time to make the 20 minute ride to the airport (Tweed/ HVN), check our bags, and walk through one of the two TSA scanners they have (for those not local to CT, it’s a small airport -like walking down a hallway and out the door to your plane and the counter agent is possibly also the air traffic controller small). I think our 10 AM arrival for an 11:45 boarding/ 12:25 departure is okay but I would have slept in the parking lot if I could have.
- Car service driver has contacted us with his info and where he will meet us at MCO and a reminder that there is a liquor store next door to our Publix pickup should we need that as well. Already making new friends on this trip!
-in about 12 hours we will be enjoying our traditional Publix sub by the pool night one dinner
