Our flight from Tucson to Dallas leaves at 5am and it’s 1.5 hrs drive to the car part and another some minutes shuttle ride to the airport. Once again, the stress is unwarranted since everything worked out great.
The kiosks and desks do not open until 3am so we arrived just as they were starting their day. We got our luggage checked in and boarding passes and found our gate. We like our little Tucson airport. Small and hard to get lost in.
Flight left right on time and we got to Dallas in 2-3 hours. I slept most of the way.
In Dallas we changed terminals so had to ride the little monorail to Terminal A from C. They called our names and we got an upgrade to first class all the way to Nassau. We have only been in first class once before on a 40 minute flight between Phoenix and Tucson so this counts as the first upgrade.
I sat with a guy from Arkansas who was going to Nassau to get a motorboat certification of some kind so he can rent a boat in Europe. Three day course. Deb sat with a woman who worked all the way down while her husband and kids were back in the cattle seats.
Got to Nassau early, where it was overcast and they may get a little rain (did not see any after all). Got our bags and a $20 taxi to Orange Hill Beach Inn where we have stayed before. Reasonable family run place where they have a honor system cooler and meals so you don’t need to take a taxi anywhere. I had my first Kalik beer, I have officially arrived in the Bahamas. Tomorrow we get a puddle jumper (Western Air) to Cat Island where we will stay at the Rollezz hotel and where Hannah and Erick will meet us. Deb had a glass of wine and we sat on the balcony and enjoyed the warm humid air then off to an early bedtime.
