Checkout was at noon today and the Orange Hill Beach Inn called a taxi for 12:30. It’s an extra Easter holiday here (Easter Monday?) so the advice we got was get to the airport 3 hours early.
The taxi was right on time (the hand sanitizer lady) and she got us to the airport with almost no traffic ($25 which we had to use all our change and small bills to pay since she could not make change). Check in was easy and Deb scored us main cabin extra upgrades which means lots of leg room and free drinks (ok one free drink). Flight to Dallas was easy (about three plus hours) and everything went smoothly.
We were meeting our friend Leslie and taking the same flight back to Tucson. The layover in Dallas was 4 hours so we found an earlier flight. Sure enough, Leslie had done the same thing and we met at B39 for the 8:55 flight. But not so fast…
A big rain/thunder/lightning storm was coming in and we ended up leaving around 11pm after waiting for it to pass over. So we ended up getting back to Tucson 5 minutes later than our original flight did, about 11:55pm. Got the bags, the Quick Park shuttle guy was waiting for us and we were in the car 10 minutes later. We stopped at Loves for some milk and coffee then got home by around 2am. Felt like a college all nighter (we still got it!!). Good to be home!!
