Our flight home this morning was at 6:00 am. We didn't get back to our hotel until nearly midnight. We had been to the airport to drop off and pick up. It was so busy it took us forever to do that. Dean was so afraid we would miss our flight this morning since we had to turn in the rental, check in a bike, check us in, etc. We had planned to go to bed and then get up like at 3. Since it was so late, we decided to check out of the hotel, turn the rental in and nap in the airport. Great plan, but it didn't work.
We did get to the hotel about 1:40 am. There was no one at Southwest with whom to check our bags. Because of that, we could not go to the secure area where the comfy seats were. Because we had 3 bags, a bike in a box, a back pack with 2 computers in it, another bag with a computer, and a camera backpack, we were not very mobile. There was a carpeted area behind the southwest area, but since we had so much stuff, we decided to just hang out near the counter.
There was a small area with 4 seats in an L shape. That made a corner were we stacked the suitcases and stuffed the smaller things under the seats. We then put the bike box there in front of us. We had our own little spot. It was not comfortable. It was cold. I finally dug my flannel robe out of the suitcase. I Put my sweatshirt on the floor and laid on it, put my head on the camera bag and covered up with my robe. I slept for about an hour. At 4:15 people started lining up at the ticket counter. That mean we had to, too. We hauled all our stuff over and I sat down in the floor and drank hot chocolate from starbucks while we waited.
It was a long and sleepy day back. We slept most of the way home, but still do not feel rested.
Early to be tonight.
