It wasn’t fun waking up at 3:30am to get to the airport for a 5:47am flight but we made it and arrived at the gate with 5
minutes to spare. The security lines were longer than we have ever seen, but they moved pretty well.The AirTran flights were uneventful and we made it to Orlando by 12:30pm. We put in a call for the shuttle and the driver with a van was there in less than 10 minutes. It was about an hour drive to Cocoa Beach and then on to pick up our rental car. The clerk took one look at our luggage and said no way it would fit into the convertible. Well it fit; we just had to be careful going around any corners!
Fortunately, the hotel was close. We checked in and they gave us a king suite - two rooms with two balconies. We unpacked quickly and went down to the beach for a nice walk. The beach was nice and wide, the waves were beautiful and the water was cold but it was wonderful being down in the warm weather. It was about 65 degrees when we arrived.
For dinner, we went to Cape Canaveral and to the south side of the bay that the cruise ship travel and ate on the waters edge watching some cruise
ships leaving for port. We are at Rusty’s Seafood and Oyster Bar and it was fun and the food was nice.Then it was on to Wal-Mart to pick up soft drinks to take on the ship and then back to the Marriott where we are going to crash very early.
Ed is using his iPhone, his Christmas present from Barb, and it works great. He was able to check e-mails very easily in Atlanta and then on the ride over to the beach. What a time saver.
Tomorrow is the Space Center – neither of us has been there.
