Day 1 Part 1
January 18th
After a night of no sleep and last minute packing catching up on some things I needed to do before I left. Of course I did take a nap after work so that helped a little. I left for the airport around 4:50 AM! yes you read that right AM :coffee: It was drizzling and very misty and raw outside but the website said my 6:30 AM flight was on time. I arrived at the airport checked my luggage went through a relatively short line at security and headed for my gate. It would have been nice if they told me about the gate change before the sign on the board at the original gate. I walked to the new gate and realized nothing was open in that area of the airport so no coffee for me. Boarded the plane and had a father sitting next to me with his I will say 1 & 1/2 year old son. The child was riding on daddy's lap which is always a joy for the person in the seat next to them. For about the first 10 minutes besides getting a few extra kicks & nudges the child was fine. Then out of nowhere he started to scream and cry for the next 45-50 minutes. At one point the father actually wanted to leave the plane before take-off but couldn't do so since he had checked luggage and it would have delayed the flight. I have to say it was terrible I couldn't even listen to my iPod or do anything to block out the noise. Finally after we were up in the air he settled down and was ok for the rest of the flight. We arrrive at the gate a few minutes early and I grabbed my carry-on and headed for Magical Express. I boarded the bus and we left after about 10 minutes for WDW. I arrived at Old Key West around 10:30 AM. I checked in and got my first ever "Welcome Home" I will have to say it got me a little choked up since I always have that feeling of coming home when I arrive at WDW. But to hear it was extra special. My room wasn't ready so I left my bag with Bell Services and headed off to the Magic Kingdom.
More to come later.....
