December 28, 2013. Fort Lauderdale, Florida. A Travel Day.

You never know what will happen when you are traveling.   In order to get from Jackson to Fort Lauderdale,  we were required to fly to Houston, wait two hours,  then board another plane for our destination.    But the plane in Houston did not appear on time.   For us, it was not a real problem as we board our cruise tomorrow, so other than being weary,  we were fine.    Ken and I just read and watched the people....and waited.

Not for other travelers.    A big group was flying in order to embark on a cruise, which was leaving at 4:00 today.     The original schedule had us arriving in Fort Lauderdale at 12:30.   We finally left an hour late which was fine for the cruisers, but when we had Fort Lauderdale in sight, the plane began to circle, and circle, and circle.    Finally we landed.  We checked into our motel at 3:15, so it is my guess these anxious travelers would make their cruise departure.    But they were worried!!

The first day of travel is always difficult, and I am not sure why.     I know that you must get through the first day, have a good night sleep, then enjoy the rest of the journey.   But even seasoned travelers like us finds the first day tedious and trying, even though you have no anxiety.    We just get through the day.
