So…up and at ‘em at 5 in the morning for a quick shower and into our personalized taxi service (compliments of my Wonderful Aunt and Uncle!) for a no-traffic trip to the airport. If this is any indication of our imminent cruise vacation, then life is good indeed. Yeah…whatever. Arrival at the airport certainly gives … Read more
