Disney Trip: Coming Home

Yesterday (Monday) the news said the day would be a wash-out, but at noon it was fine and so we went to Downtown Disney and had linner (lunch and dinner) at the Raglan Road Irish Pub. The lunch was just as good as the dinner we had there. We got back to the resort just as it started pouring.

Today we got up early, had breakfast and took our car service to the airport. Orlando had a lot of fog and New Hampshire was under a winter storm watch and supposed to get a foot of snow so we were concerned about having a delay. Since we were picking up the dogs right after we had to be there before 6 pm.

The Orlando TSA were good and we had no issues with them. We boarded with no problem. It was a full flight and so every seat was filled. A very large woman sat next to me. It was very uncomfortable for me because she could not stay on her own side. I thought that Southwest has a rule that if you can't put the hand rests down then you have to buy a second seat. This woman had to have a seat belt extension and still she was pushing against me. I do not consider being fat a disability and so have no problem with those that can't sit correctly in an airplane seat to have to buy a second seat and sit there. I paid for my seat and only got to use half of my space because of that woman (and airplane seats are small as it is.)

I was so glad when we landed and I could get away from that woman and her heavy breathing. A pilot (or maybe it was the co-pilot) was very nice and helped pushed our wheelchair up the ramp - something most people never do. They will help you onto the plane but forget about you when you land.

When we landed we got our bags and went to the car in the parking garage. There were only light flurries outside. We decided to stop by the grocery store by our house and get several meals (because we are still supposed to get around 15 inches of snow.) Then we got home, dropped off the suitcases and then headed the 5 minutes to the kennel to get our dogs. They were so happy to come home and looked really good since we got them groomed.

Now we are home and trying to unpack, do laundry and get back to our regular things. We are still supposed to get 15 inches of snow tonight and tomorrow, but at least we can just stay home if it is bad.

All in all I had a good time in Florida and at Disney World. It was mostly because of my mom whose idea it was to go. Hopefully we can take my dad down there next time as I'm sure he will enjoy going to some of the places we found (like the Irish Pub.)
