We got off the boat in great time and went through all the stages, including immigration, flawlessly. the little yellow and blue puff balls that mealnie made for each of our suitcases helped us spot ours in moments after entering the massive storage area. What a lifesaver!! We grabbed a porter and he loaded most of the 12 bags on one cart and got us out to a bus, to the front of the line to ensure we got on and to the airport in time.
Sitting in the Fort Lauderdale airport, we just sang For He's A Jolly
Good Fellow for a member of the Air Tran staff who is retiring and our
flight is his last. Upon entering the airplane, I (Doug) saw the pilot was in a good mood so I asked him if he'd taken his Benedryl that morning. After a laugh, one of the flight attendents, Tia, jumped into the fray...she was hilarious and provided 'entertainment' all the way to Atlanta. Our flight to Atlanta went very well and we got in about 10 minutes early. That was good because we only had about 40 minutes to transfer to our next plane. We were fortunate that we didn't have to change terminals which gave us extra time to find lunch!
Our plane to Wichita got to the Atlanta airport a bit late but we still got into Wichita within 10 minutes of our schedule...and on top of that we got ALL of our luggage! At the airport we found family and friends waiting to wisk us away from our vacation and back into the real world.
