We arrived home Thursday evening. We were both very sad our trip was over, but very happy to see DH & DS at the airport. We missed them!
Our disembarkation was completely uneventful. Budget picked us up right away and after a bit of car juggling (they gave us a car with 0% oil life & low gas), we were off to WDW for a few hours before our flight. We had quite a bit of fun shopping in DTD. We ran into our tablemates at Fultons Crabhouse. That was nice. We then shopped a bit more with them and then off to the airport.
Note to self: fill rental car with gas before getting on the turnpike.
Orlando security was crazy as usual. Some poor unfortunate toddler threw-up all over the floor by the x-ray conveyor just before our carry-ons were to come through. We stood there waiting with all the security people telling us to just wait there. Come to find out they had moved our stuff a few lines away. Glad no one took our wallets.
Short wait for boarding, takeoff on time, non-stop flight to Detroit. Walk out of airport to 27 degrees!!!
Notes for the future:
Only play the final Jackpot Bingo game. (DH has yet to see the bill from all our Bingo games).
Walk Deck 4 at least once/day to make up for all the eating.
Find out on the first night if your tablemates want to split the wine package....we defintely drank as much and would have saved some $.
Do not buy anything at the art auction or sales. I didn't bid on anything, but took the 2 "free" prints they offered. After framing and shipping....I am out a pretty penny. Since coming home, I've checked on Park West and if I only knew then what I know now....I knew the prints were basically worthless even if they represented them as otherwise. I just feel kind of stupid paying all that when it isn't a good time for me to be doing so. The framing price was just so much lower than I could get at home. The majority of online reports say their framing is bad. Live and learn.
For what we spent on Bingo & framing, I could have put a deposit on another cruise! Darn. We won't be going for quite some time. Gotta get our house sold this summer and then we'll see. DH was really happy for us and loves the idea of going on a 4-day all together now that we've tested the waters.
Hope everyone is home safe. Enjoyed meeting you guys and loved all the magnets and gifts. DS that didn't join us on the trip enjoyed putting them all over our fridge when we got home. Great reminders of a great trip.
Thank-you!
