The airport

  • Sitting in the airport waiting room reminded me of the TV show "Wings". The sitting area was shocking orange on the top, like the Home Depot color. The bottom was painted pink. The seats were folding chairs, like the old card table chairs, not made for comfort.
  • The same person that sold you the ticket, took the ticket at the other end. She also cleared you for customs and home land security.
  • There were 30 or more 10 year old children on a school trip. The public address system announced that their flight was to be delayed due to mechanical problems. They were very well behaved considering they were there for over 3 hours.
  • We decided to have some breakfast. It was 8 A.M. so we ordered eggs with bacon or sausage and toast. The coffee was good. The reason I'm mentioning this is to point out what some people eat for breakfast. Pig's feet, steamed bologna, some kind of scary looking fish, chicken souse and grits.
  • The plane is a two prop that looks like something the Flintstones would ride in. I still can't figure out how it got off the ground.
  • We were back in boat harbour by 11:00 A.M. and in our bathing suits swimming in the pool and having lunch by noon. Hard to believe we were away for 18 days.
