Day Eight, November 22, 2009: Miami, Florida...and Home

There had been several other options like enrolling in the BAGS program and never seeing our luggage until we got back to Reagan, but we missed that – Tom wanted to get an earlier flight home.  We also could have taken a tour of Miami if we hadn't changed our flight.

Michael’s flight was about 12:30, so we decided to go when he did.  One last breakfast in the Garden Cafe, then waited in our cabin until the called our luggage tag color.

One last swipe of the key card, off the gangplank, picked up luggage, through customs and onto a bus for the Miami airport.

We got 2 of the last 4 remaining seats on an earlier flight (12:15).  Inside security, Michael went to concourse D, we went to E.

Our flight went pretty smoothly – I mostly slept and we got to Reagan just about 3:00, before we were originally supposed to leave Miami.

A taxi home, got the car and went to get Mimi at her sister’s. Back home and Tom was off to a meeting at 5:30 with a lawyer for a case on Monday.  Mimi and I napped.

From shipboard in Miami to Tom working in D.C. – 8.5 hours.  Amazing.
