Wednesday, April 20, 2011 - Travel Day back to Jupiter

Though I woke up around 7:00 and got up around 8:00, I went back to bed about 10:00 still tired. Hubby was sound asleep straight through. We finally woke up together, with Hubby asking what time we had to check out, since the clock said it was 11:45! We leaped out of bed and started packing at once, heading out of the room just before 12:30. I got the boarding passes printed out in the lobby and we caught the 1:00 shuttle to the airport. Had a nice leisurely lunch at TGIF’s before managing to get through security, this time with no trouble whatsoever, thank heavens. We settled down for our flight, which was scheduled in another two hours, then was delayed by half an hour. The plane was filled with St. Mark’s high school kids, presumably coming back from their Spring break trip to DC, so it was rather boisterous most of the time. We left the gate even later, than were shuffled around the busy taxiways for awhile before the captain came on saying there was a technical problem and we had to go back to the gate. It didn’t take long to reset the control box, then we headed out again, finally taking off around 7:00. Arrived more than an hour late in PBI, headed straight back to the ranch, exhausted. Didn’t take long to crash, as it was past 10:00 by the time we arrived. No doubt going to sleep late tomorrow!
