| Re: My Anniversary/ See Donna again, meet Cindy trip! Day One,part 1 [b] Finally! I have a few minutes to sit down and look at my trip report notes! I have been so busy, you guys, between working, unpacking and cleaning! Muffin is away this week and won’t be home until Friday night, so I have been doing all of the scheduling, laundry, organizing, going to games and band and driving certain 16 year olds to get their permit. Anyway! Here are some highlights from our adventures! First of all, we woke up at 4AM from a fitful night of sleep on Thursday morning. I was really beat since I had to work until 7PM the night before and I still didn’t sleep well! We got showers, checked our suitcases, threw in a few extra items and woke the kids up to kiss them all goodbye. Before we knew it, it was time to leave for the airport for our 7:55AM flight. When we went to check in at the kiosks, Muffin’s boarding pass came out no problem, but mine wouldn’t work!  The machine said that I owed a $40 change fee, which I knew I had paid already, so I had to go to the counter and straighten it all out. Fortunately, I got a great agent, who looked up the transaction and immediately figured out what was wrong and got me ticketed. She was incredibly friendly and helpful and even put my suitcase through without a hitch which weighed 54 pounds.  We were finally headed toward our gate and on our way to sunny (or so we thought!) Orlando!! We got some breakfast at the airport. Muffin had a bagel and tea and I had an omelet and coffee. We finished everything and it was time to board our flight. For the first time ever, we were way in the back of the airplane and although it was fine, all I kept thinking was that we would NEVER get off!  Our plane took off on time, was a smooth and enjoyable flight, and landed in Orlando a whole 10 minutes early. When we landed, the sky actually was a little sunny, but overcast. By the time we rented our car, a gold Chevy Impala, and got on the road, it was around 11:30. I drove to AKL, since I knew the way by heart and it took about 35 minutes from the time we left the airport to get there. When we got up to the guard booth, the attendant gave us our special concierge pass and told us where to go check in. Since I was driving, Muffin still had no clue what was going on and I thought maybe it should stay that way! So I went back to him after checking in and said we are staying in concierge! I never said one word about upgrading and he still thinks we got an upgrade from AKL. If he had asked me directly, I would’ve said I’d done it, but he never did and I think it helped to make his trip a little more magical.  I also paid it in cash, so there is no reason for him to ever find out!  We got everything we asked for with our room! We stayed in room 5513 on Arusha Savannah. We got a king bed. AND! When we walked into our room, there was a lovely parcel from AKL with two beautiful African fragrances, one male and one female, which when finished, will also make lovely Christmas ornaments.  AKL!! There was also a letter wishing us a Happy Anniversary and many happy years to come, signed by a staff member. It was truly a lovely and magical beginning to our trip! Below are some pictures from the day. I don't have many pictures  . I'll explain that as I go. Muffin at the airport  The necessary signs picture  WANTED: Dead or alive!  My favorite sign!  Our room      Next up: SO! What do you want to do?!?!? |
