Fort Myers

Hello Folks!

This is my first Out-of-Orlando update... we had quite the trip down here to the Fort Myers, that's for sure. It went by fast, though. Mom and I left at 12 as planned. The departure wasn't so bad, at least not as bad as I thought. Tomorrow's departure is going to be harder... We stopped once on the way to grab a snack. We checked into the hotel w/o any hitches and then headed out to the airport to check the place out. And MY, MY what a pretty airport!!! It's small and friendly, and there's no confusion on where to go. Definitely not as bustling as MCO.

Mom offered to upgrade my ticket for me to business class, but its sold out! So I'm going to check at the counter tomorrow. I'd rather not upgrade it because it'd be like $800 each way to upgrade. Sure, it'd be a lot more comfortable but the flight is only 9 hours, and I'm small enough to where it won't bother me too much. I'll just wear my sweats...love those things!! Mom said she'd get me a neck pillow... they're $13 at this one store in the airport. By the way, I'll take pictures of the airport tomorrow and post them when I can, it was just so pretty.

Then Mom and I went looking for something to eat. Jeremy and I met up this morning bright and early for pancakes and since then I hadn't eaten anything!! We ended up at Moe's. Now we're kind of chilling out in the room (which was free, I cashed in my GoldPoints from when I worked at the hotel!) and we're eating ice cream!!! My stuff's all over the place, it's crazy!

Well tomorrow is the plan to just knock around here til around noon. Have breakfast, make sure my stuff's organized... then head out to the airport again to check in. Mom and I will probably hang out in the airport for a couple hours before I go through security. Security at this airport is literally right around the corner from the check-in counters. I can't ever tell where I'm going in Orlando's airport. The smallness of it makes it seem like less of a huuuuge deal to be going overseas. More comfortable.

We're having a nice time here, I think it was worth it to come this far.


Ready to fly!,
