Sunrise in Port Canaveral

    This is the hardest day to write about, it is time to leave the ship.  Early in the morning we docked in Port Canaveral.  Our alarm was set early so that we would have time to shower and get to our 7:45 am breakfast seating.  We had
packed our two main bags the night before and only needed to pack up our carry ons.  We were left with some extra time to sit on our porch, watch the sunrise and contemplate our vacation. 

    At our assigned time we slowly made our way back down to Parrot Cay for our final meal on the ship.  We said good bye to our servers and table mates one last time and slowly left the ship.  I am sure I walked half as fast down the gang way than I had the week before.  We collected our luggage from the baggage area and quickly made our way through customs.  As always, Disney is highly efficient in moving people and we were quickly directed to an airport bound bus. 

    We arrived at the airport and finished all checking by 10:30 am.  We still had over three hours until our flight.   I really like the fact that the Orlando Airport has free wireless internet.  Pete and I both found comfortable chairs near our gate and caught up on work.  As it turned out, our flight home was delayed by several hours - all due to lack of landing space at the Philadelphia Airport.  I will give due credit to Southwest here, they let us wait in the terminal until we had clearance to take off.  I was very thankful we didn’t have to sit on a crowded airplane on the tarmac during our delay.  When Pete and I got tired of working, we watched a few old episodes of The Office on my laptop.  (slight aside, we watched the episode called The Injury.  It is the one where Michael Scott gets his foot caught in his Foreman Grill.  I have seen it several times and it still makes me laugh out loud.)

    We arrived home around 7 pm in a steady cold rain with just enough time left to greet a few trick-or-treaters.  What to do next?  We are contemplating our next Disney vacation.  This time we will take the children...
