I got up early enough to make my flight, but ended up going the wrong way out of the hotel, and to the wrong side of the airport for my United flight. I turned around and got back to the counter, but about 30 seconds too late to check in, dam!
United was more than willing to get me a new flight on the next plane out at 10 AM, so it was a simple check-in, and I was free of the suitcases to return to the hotel for some extra z’s.
The MIA hotel was kind enough to let me check back in to my same room, and I took my breakfast sandwiches I had picked up along the way to my room for a nice breakfast, followed by a nap. Quite reasonable really, should have picked this flight in the first place.
The rest of the trip back was uneventful, and I was back in MSP by 5 PM for my friend Jerry to pick me up for some car shopping and the return north to Babbitt and my parent’s home for a visit.
A fine end to a great trip to Margarita! I may continue to post here as my plans develop for the summer, as there may be some windsurfing involved!
Stay tuned..
