8/17/08 Captain Jack's Repossession Repo Cruise to PC thru TPC Part 16

[Andrew DEREK UK]

Hi Patty....

I have to scram back for school on tuesday too (as it is DD will miss first week of school)

I still plan to take a 6 or 7 pm flight. That way i can run over to TL or BB for the day and then we can safely make our luggage/ourselves to the airport by 4 pm.

In Orlando you really want to make sure your luggage is there 2 hrs prior to "make" the trip home. We've learned that the hard way earlier on in our FL travels. On more than 2-3 trips our luggage never came home on the same plane as us and sometimes it was there pretty early. I'd be worried about a 12ish flight and the luggage.

For me I have to loose a lot of hours at MCO, my flight is just after 5pm, check in 2pm, last time I got there at 8.30am.

USAirways to Phoenix (the only one with non-stop) only has two flights...one at 7:30 am (or some ungodly hour) and the one at 5:20 pm. So we'll get a day room at the Hyatt and just hang there. It's almost kind of a nice little "in betweener" before going back home to the rush and rumble.



CRASH....that CARP looks like it's carrying a bunch of baby carps. Or baby carp eggs or whatever it is that carps do when they multiply.

I would wish that no one is feeling CARPY today!! But am glad to know (in a sick humorish sense) that I don't have the corner on the market for feeling like carp lately.

I did the Hyatt after the repo in 2005, we used the pool on the roof a lot, but apart from leaving our bags in the room, it had little use. I am thinking of alternatives but cant come up with any currently, I have 9am to 2pm to kill, after that I am in the Delta Lounge, but I cannot use that until check in opens at 2pm.

That's the reason we got a day room at the Hyatt & it was so worth the $$$, especially after the very early call to immigration!

Generally, we get something to eat and then nap. I think only one year did we make sure we stayed awake long enough to go check the bags in early. Will have to play that by ear this time. I think it's silly that they won't let us check our bags when we arrive at the airport. They can search them, xray them, turn them inside out for all I care, just so I don't have to drag them all over the airport with me!
I wonder if there is a place to store them (downstairs, rather than drag them to the Hyatt) for 1st Class passengers? I doubt it.

The good news is I read we do not need to go to immigration early now, you are checked as you get off in the terminal, however it still will be an early start, we had a breakfast slot of 6.45am in Barcelona without immigration.

I will consider the Hyatt, but as I have an airport lounge in the afternoon I am going to consdier Alternatives.

I hope its back to Europe in summer 2009, looking for hints on Tuesday.

I presume its security that you cannot store them, I would prefer that, BA only have one flight a day so I cannot see an early opening of check in, so therefore I cannot get to Delta VIP lounge to after check in.

It leaves a few hours.

You get 'pixie dust' for a speedy recovery.

I got better than PIXIE DUST... I got two tiny red pills - I forgot what they were - but i sort of closed my eyes a spell and now I can feel the "pressure" in my head but the discomfort appears to have subsided.

All I know is the pills didn't have M&Ms on them - so they were not chocolate plecebos.... <chuckles> .... and .... oh .... I think they were psedo somethings. PseduoPhren or what-ever. At any rate - I'm beginning to feel better with a slightly wierd sensation that I still have someting going on slightly.

THANX for the dust though... as I'm sure that contributed too!

I'm feeling almost human again - and just about ready to venture outside now...

Hey Stace ...

... maybe we can start a club or somthin'? You figure we can CHARGE folks to join? It'l help with our cruise tab potentially.

When not well...

...you know you're out of luck when all you have at home are these:

Skittles or M&Ms

Fortunately you found some Advil - and I think I took a pair of pseudonephrine pills. I still have the faint pressure - warm eyes - and junk in my throat. SO - although technically less than fit - I am feeling a lot better. Actually - I'm getting pretty hungry all of a sudden.

Excuse me while I check the fridge.​

I would prefer M&M's with Ice Cream.
