Packing took about 5 minutes; I excel in this area:

Aside from John Eddie, have no idea who these people are…which I suppose is fair ‘cuz I’m guessing they have no idea who I am.

OOPS…just got recorded message from airline that our flight tomorrow was cancelled and re-booking is getting us to MIA at 6:25pm. Well, that certainly won’t work, boat will have left by then. Call airline, get recording “We’re real busy…you can expect a call back in at 2 hours.”
They call us back at 11:30pm (at least they were accurate in the ‘call ya back in 2hrs’ thing), at first say they have NO other flights to get us to MIA in time, a little desperation (and a ‘supervisor’) then finds a flight through Chicago that WILL get us there by noon. Hooray…except the flight leaves in 5hrs…airport is 1hr away. Guess we won’t be sleeping much tonite.
My head hurts. Already.
Vacationing is OK; Traveling sucks.

Left the house at 3:30am for 5:58am flight to Miami via Chicago. Drive to airport was 45mph over snow covered roads. Thanks ODOT, hope you all enjoyed your donuts this morning.
Made it to airport, flight delayed 1hr for de-icing, made it to connecting flight in Chicago just as they were screaming “Faymon…last call for Faymon!”. Thank God we channeled our inner Avis-era O.J. running through airport.
Highlights of Day:
1. Woman asking Margaret to ‘taste her’ by licking her neck.
2. Same woman not batting an eye when new, male acquaintance proceeded to yank her top off.
3. Numerous run-in’s with ship staff squirting hand sanitizer on our hands while saying ” Washy-Washy”…truly strange, every time ya turn around…”Washy-Washy…” – SQUIRT!
Lessons learned:
1. There are three kinds of drunkenness:
– Good time, fun party drunk
– Silly, funny drunk.
– “STFU you no-class, loudmouth…” drunk.
Guess which was most prevalent today?
On the plus side, Duty Free liquor and tobacco on ship is very appealing in terms of price.
Couple of pics of band playing as ship sailed:
Life's tough, wear a helmet.
