Rare sid_9169 Posted December 4, 2021 Author #1579 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Gate 74... I'm telling you, now I know what it's like to be in the Diamond or Platinum line at Carnival. That TSA pre check just saved me a half hour of waiting in line, taking my shoes off, walking on the filthy airport floor, ect... I'm here at the gate two hours early. They have an Outback steakhouse, Bahama Breeze, and Nathan's hot dogs. I'm not sure if I'm prepared to "purchase" food again yet, after eating all that "included" stuff on the ship... 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted December 4, 2021 Author #1582 Share Posted December 4, 2021 I found a nice quiet corner where I can sit and wait without my mask. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted December 4, 2021 Author #1583 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Still almost an hour until boarding time. I'm trying to figure out what I'm going to do when I get home. Take a shower. Go out and rake the leaves off the top of my car, which is hopefully still there. Definitely find something to eat, since I haven't had anything since 7:30 this morning, and I won't eat airport food. (Well, I won't pay airport prices for food) At least tomorrow is Sunday, and I have one more day to acclimate to the real World before going back to work on Monday... I had been bandying about the idea of a cruise over Christmas break, but that's definitely out now, as I still don't know what's wrong with me. Not going to spend that kind of money, not even knowing if I'll have a good time. Hopefully, whatever it is works itself out before my Virgin Voyages Scarlet Lady cruise in May 2022. I may or may not do any kind of review, since I already did, and I've pretty much done everything on that ship there is to do. Well, not the shows, but I'm not going to go to any of them next time either. To be honest, I forgot where the cruise even goes, other than I'll be seeing Bimini twice, since they go there every cruise... 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted December 4, 2021 Author #1584 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Ok, looks like I'm going to Dominican Republic for at least the first leg of a back to back. New cruise countdown: 174 days. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted December 4, 2021 Author #1585 Share Posted December 4, 2021 There's my ride home. Well, that, and a subway and an Uber or a cab once I get to my station. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted December 4, 2021 Author #1586 Share Posted December 4, 2021 The boarding "scrum" has commenced... They're trying to get people to check bags at the gate, but I'm not doing it. I'm already worried about my other case. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted December 4, 2021 Author #1587 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Fortunately, I boarded as the first person in main zone 1, as baggage space is already filling up quickly. I had to go one row back for a space. Then, the lady in the window seat shows up, and has to go back two rows to stow her bag. She then proceeded to take about twenty airplane selfies after getting settled in. Finally, the aisle seat person shows up, and she's spilling over into my seat on my right. As long as the plane doesn't crash, I'll survive until Atlanta... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The people we saw on the mardi gras a few weeks ago would never fit into one airplane seat or even 2. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare sid_9169 Posted December 4, 2021 Author #1598 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Lady in front of me couldn't figure out how to get her bag under the seat.
