Love was in the air!<\/p><\/div>\n

Finally, at 6:30 am, we got up and began the final packing activities: our carry-ons. It’s like trying to fit 15 pounds of, you know what, into a five-pound bag. After some struggle, a little force, a few hydraulic tools, and the ability to bend matter with my mind (if only), I finally managed to zip it up. It’s good that TSA didn’t require us to open the bag!<\/p>\n

We had breakfast in the cabin and then to the concierge, who took us down to the debarking (I think of Scout every time I type that word!) area via the crew elevator.<\/p>\n

We went through the lines without a hitch, and it was easy because we had our suitcases sent directly to the airplane, so we did not have to manhandle all eleven of Mary’s suitcases\/steamer trunks.<\/p>\n

It was a short ride to the airport!<\/p><\/div>\n

At the airport, we had the most epic lunch with the kids. We departed like synchronized swimmers, except with luggage. It was like the grand finale of our trip, complete with a recap over sandwiches. We should start rating airport lunches; I give this one five out of five stars!<\/p>\n

We flew to Charlotte and then changed airplanes with only a few minutes to spare. The flights were uneventful except during takeoff when Paul made airplane sounds (jet airplanes).<\/p>\n

How she can look so good after seven hours of flying in a hollow tube is beyond me!<\/p>\n

\"\"

Always a smile!<\/p><\/div>\n

We arrived at John Wayne at 8:15 p.m., and our daughter Robin was waiting for us. We loaded up and headed home! Robin had plans for tomorrow morning, so she went home.<\/p>\n

Mary texted the kids to let them know we were home safe. She also added, “No need to send out the search party this time!”<\/p>\n

Scout required formal introductions before going out with Daddy to prepare for bed!<\/p>\n

Wow, what a trip! We kissed, and then both of us went out like a light! Love really is exhausting!<\/p>\n
