No, I really don't remember the Pokemon question. It had something to do with a boromba? or something like that. The question was asked what is a combination of two things and gave a description of them. And boromba ? was the answer.
Anyway, on to the trip home:
9/15/01 Saturday AKA the trip home.
I have packed the night before, so all I've got to do after Mickey wakes me up is shower. After that, I head to the front of AS Sp to wait on Mears. Around 7:20, a van shows up and it has an extra seat, so I figure instead of waiting until 7:45, I'll just catch that one.
I board the van and we head to the airport passing the new Pop Century resort. This looks like a fun place to stay. I may have to try it once they finish it.
We get to the airport and I grab another one of the carts for $2. I head inside to see the longest line of my trip. There's a queue for US Airways just about going around the airport. Now, I didn't eat breakfast because I figured that I could grab something once I got done in line.
I get in line real close to 8am and do not reach a representative until 9:45. Almost two hours later. Where's the fastpass system when you need it? [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
There's heavy security. I notice several signs saying "all toy weapons must be checked at counter" and "no knives of any kind past this point."
After getting my seat assignment, I grab some breakfast around 10am and head to the metal detectors.
I go thru and procede to the gate after taking the tram ride. I was scheduled to fly out at 12:50 on flight 57. After stopping in Charlotte, this flight is scheduled to go to San Fransisco. The gate attendants make an announcement saying that there are seats available on the flight leaving immediately before mine and it's only destination is Charlotte. I take the earlier flight. During this flight, after reaching altitude, a big burly man with a GI haircut got up and stood outside the pilot's door. He never moved from that position until the captain made the "we are now decending" announcement. He then sat down right were he came from. I never asked who he was.
My flight landed and I proceded to the gate for my last leg. This is a prop plane and we head back to Knoxville.
Landing on runway 5 left, the plane heads to the terminal and I exit. Baggage claim here is faster than at MCO, but that's probably because there's fewer people on this plane.
I grab another cart and head towards my car. $42 dollars for parking and I'm headed home.
As I am going home, I already miss Mickey. I really miss the Mickey wakeups.
I arrive home safe and sound after about an hour drive.
Tomorrow, I'll post my overall review including my thoughts on the Deluxe Passporter. Till then, good luck, phaser's on stun, Kirk out.
