We flew out of Stillwater… great little airport, no big hassles, no huge lines…
The flight was into Dallas… and , of course, includes a wait time… which if you fly in the afternoon the delays get longer… just one of those things that we deal with. We were headed to Miami to meet up with Sherries group. But first we had to get on a plane and we found that the plane we waited on was coming in from London and … was late… but it would make a problem of our arrival as we were to overnight in Miami before we could get on the Ship…
When I travel it is much like visiting walmart, you may see just about anything… well on second thought you can see anything… if you watch…just not as prevalent (I think). One of the things we saw… comfort shoes?
The plan finally came in… first in were the paramedics? with a gurney, but after a bit they came back out with no one on board… whew!… but with a little time to prepare we got on the plane… locked into our seats and off we went. We got to Miami a bit late… and gathered up baggage and out to find the bus to the selected motel… well after several hotel buses the one we wanted showed up and we had to flag him down as he wasn’t stopping just to check … at 10:30 pm… not me… we loaded up and he headed to the next stop and got flagged down again but these passengers were looking for the bus to a different but same name hotel… he offered to take them to his stop but they declined so we headed out… I am watching the road and we bypassed the road out of the airport and did a cross over and made another loop of the airport? well my first thought was that he needed more passengers to justify his trip in and out? but no he went back to the ones that turned him down and got out to ask and make sure they didn’t want to go our way… again they declined so we headed out and then I figured to the motel… but pretty soon I was a bit worried as we were headed off around the industrial area around the airport. it was dark I was not sure of directions but we were going in all kinds of directions… but … we did finally get to the motel… got checked in after some confusion issues and got to our room and … we must have looked in poor shape as we got a “mobility challenged” bath… we weren’t in that shape, yet…
So we were all ready but the room was a bit warm… checked the cooling unit and…. it was set at 60 but the temp had to be more like ???? 80? not other choice and we were too tired to complain or move… just crash out and pray things might get better in morning…
