HOME SWEET HOME

We were getting so excited about the prospect of going home that Dave decided to call Delta to see if we could get on an earlier flight (our original plans had us landing at 11:30 pm).  We were told there were spots on early morning flights, we just needed to show up at the airport early.  Some of you may know that Dave likes to be early anyway, so that meant we hardly slept Friday night.  We got up early to get out of the hotel and turn in the rental car.  We bid our Dodge Nitro, that we named Midnight, goodbye while it was still dark out and took the shuttle to the airport.  You may be curious to find out what ever happened to the wine that we couldn't ship from L.A.?  Well, we packaged it up ourselves into 2 boxes, and we decided to check the boxes as baggage on the plane.  By the time we got to the head of the line at the airport (sorry, Jenn, but that airport was crazy!) and spoke to the Delta employee about changing flights, we had been closed out of the 6:30 am flight.  But we made it onto the 7:45 am flight and checked our boxes of wine for only $25 each!

The flights were easy, though from San Diego to Atlanta was a little long.  We were so happy to touch down in south Florida and feel the heat and humidity as we deplaned.  And when we walked into our apartment after the day traveling, we were thrilled to see our 2 small black kittens who rubbed and snuggled and checked out our luggage, and then fell into a nap together on the armchair!
