Thursday – November 4, 2004 - I Don’t Want
To Go
Going home. I’ve said this before but it bears repeating,
I don’t want to leave. I don’t mind going home. I just
don’t want to leave.
Tiffany had suggested an 8:15 pickup for our 10:15 flight. Sue
was concerned about traffic and airport crowds so she requested
a pickup at 8:00. We were, of course, ready at 7:30 and wheeled
our luggage outside to wait for our driver. Naturally, Mike showed
early at 7:45. We were off and there was surprisingly little traffic
on I4 and the Beeline. We hit the airport at 8:15, and had our bags
checked by a Skycap by 8:20. It never fails. If you were running
late, traffic would be a mess; there’d be a long line for
Skycaps; etc.
With plenty of time to kill, we went through Security in about
5 minutes and hit McD’s for breakfast. We lingered and tried
to make this take as long as possible. We then hit the gift shop
for some reading material. I’m a weird guy so I picked up
the NY Times for the crossword, the NY Post for the NY sports stories,
and an ESPN magazine (and almost choked when I found out it was
$5).
Our flight left a bit late at 10:30 but we made up the time and
landed a bit early. There were a few apprehensive moments when the
pilot asked the Attendants to be seated because of some turbulence
but it turned out to be not too bad. We landed, got our luggage,
found our cars and were home in 30 minutes. Another trip in the
books.
Final Thoughts
The past few months have been unusually stressful at work. A WDW
trip is always the best medicine for that but, unfortunately, the
results don’t seem to linger as long as they used to. We’re
heading back, with our 3 children and son-in-law in early January
so I only have 2 months to wait. But the waiting is hard.
I’ve noticed that, as the frequency of our trips have increased,
they’re more relaxing. We don’t feel the same need to
hit every attraction in every park. We know we’ll be back.
We still haven’t scratched the surface on all the restaurants.
There’s always so much more to see and do. It really gives
you something to look forward to.
Thanks for reading.
