Well, we made it home.
Travel day was a challenge, but we've been lucky the last couple years, so......
We left the resort @ 10:15.....for a 1:40 flight---got checked in, through security (had to give up my aloe!!) and ate at our usual spot, Bubba Gump.
Boarded on time (that takes an hour and we were one of the first)......then tried to take off, but one engine wouldn't start. Had to pull back in, pull a mechanic, who then had to go get a "special tool" to manually start Engine 2. But I guess it worked and we were off, just about 70 minutes late.
Between RLS and edema, the trip was a physical challenge and generally uncomfortable, for my legs. )-:
We were about the same 70 minutes late getting into Minneapolis. Finally got through customs, immigration, etc. and Jord was waiting. We met the Panzer crew for a wonderful meal at Bucca de Peppo. Then back to the airport....boarded on time and home at the hour of 11:00.
Of course, no one can go right to bed after that, so it was about 12:30 before we hit the sack....
I laid down this afternoon and slept for another hour and a half......I never nap for more than 20-30 minutes....holy buckets, I was tired.
And tonight we get to set clocks forward....argh!!
Reflection:
This was a great trip, I think one of our best. The weather was awesome, with just one day where it rained off and on and then again, the day before we left. Other than that, it was 80-85 and just a gentle breeze.
We had a great trip to Selvatica for ziplining. and a nice trip to Xcaret. Other than that, it was pure relaxation.....
Hope we can duplicate that next. year!
