Florida Day 8: Wednesday, October 25, 2006

And so this was the day we flew home. We had to be out of the apartment by 10 a.m., so we had breakfast at Starbucks and packed up. Then we drove to the airport in Fort Lauderdale and dropped off the rental car. Unfortunately we were so early that AirTran would not let us check our bags in yet (??!! what's up with that?) so we had to sit around for an hour and then check them in.

We grabbed lunch at the gate (pizza), and waited for our 2:14 p.m. flight, which was very smooth and uneventful. I love how AirTran has XM Satellite Radio for free in its planes. I got to listen to a bit of Channel 82--The System when I wasn't reading Hot Six.

Maryland welcomed us home with cooler temperatures than what we had gotten used to. We took the light rail home and mercifully found the house and our cars intact.

And so ends my chronicle of our Florida trip. I hope you enjoyed it.
