Today was a day of waiting and moving.
After a brief visit at John's sister's home in San Antonio, she drove us to San Antonio airport for our flight to Fort Lauderdale. SAT is a rather small airport, considering the size of the city, but is quite convenient and efficient.
They say that wheter you go to Heaven or Hell, you have to change planes in Atlanta. This was true in this case, since there doesn't seem to be a direct flight across the Golf of Mexico between the two cities. We had a very close connection in Atlanta and, true to form, two gates were at opposite sides of the airport, but we made it. Both flights were filled to capacity, but not uncomfortable.
After a long wait for baggage at FLL (Fort Lauderdale airport) we called our hotel shuttle and asked where to wait. We stood outside for nearly an hour in the drizzle waiting as vans from other hotels came and went. Eventually, after two more phone calls, the driver arrived. It was his forst day on the job!
Checking into the hotel at about 10:00, we grabbed a snack at the restaurant and turned in.
We board our ship, the Century Eclipse on Saturday and will probably be offline for a number of days, since internet on the ship is both expensive and slow.
Look for us down the log.
John and Donna
