Today was one very long day. Started out with being up at three in the morning. Such fun!!!
Well after walking the dogs in the dark and the rain and the having some breakfast we were on the road to the airport. Abbotsford airport is easy to get to. Especially since it is only a half hour drive away from where we live. I like going to this airport. You can get there in no time and the price for parking is a hell of allot better then Vancouver.
So now at the airport. Way!!! Too early. At least we are there and ready to travel. Luggage booked in and we are sitting there waiting for security to open. It finally opened and we are now sitting in another room waiting to get on a plane. Wait, wait, wait. Finally on the plane and as usual packed unlike cattle. Couldn't get the seat we wanted so had to settle for second best.
Now one flight in. We are now in Calgary. One hour flight. Oh this is going to be fun. We have to get out of security grab our luggage and the get back into security for the US. So we only have and hour to do this. Walking walking walking, pick up luggage at other end of airport. Walking some more to get to customs for US. Then answer their many questions and through to do a security check again. Drop off our luggage again and then do a bit of a strip. This time have to strip down to where we take off our shoes. Great. Vest off and hubby even had to put his glasses in the tub to go through the scanner.
Well being so little time. We made it just in time for the loading of the next plane. Sat there for a few minutes and then started on a loading into another cattle bus. This plane was more crowded then the last and the seats seemed smaller yet. Great sitting on a plane that feels so cramped and riding it for three and a half hours. By now I am just too sleepy to care. We take off and I try to read for a little while but then my head just starts bobbing. Brenda bobble head under way. So put away my reader and bobble my head the rest of the way to Florida. I do sleep and then I wake up and the I nod some more and then I wake up. Fun ride. Well at least on the way back it will still be a cattle bus but at least it is a shorter ride.
Not thinking about ride home already. I have at least two weeks here to think of warm sunny weather and places I can see.
Finally I orlando airport. Follow the signs for luggage pick up. Okay we're do we go? We followed the signs and now we are out of security. Standing in front of a shuttle and wondering what to do next. Well fellow the flow. We go to the main building and there we go down a floor and and get our luggage. Which is already out on the cariselle going round and round.
So. Ow luggage is back with us and off we go to ground transportation. Get directed to a taxi and head for our place of residence for this week. Best western near sea world. The taxi has a little fender bender with a bus behind him. Great we are paying for the rate while he argues with the fellow behind him...
Finally at our hotel. Unload our stuff and take a breather. Then we take a little walk. Have found sea world already. Will be going there tomorrow.
