Stitch woke me up at 2:15 a.m. and I dressed and headed to meet the bus.

Now, when I learned of my P/U time, I called the front desk and asked if someone could help me get my bags and myself to the bus stop, as I was a little creeped out being in the back forty all by myself. They said no, there are no carts or runners at that hour. In the time I walked to the bus stop, 3 golf carts passed me! Oh well!

Myself and another family got on the bus, we made a quick stop at Pop, and off to MCO we went. We got there at 3:30 a.m., but American Airlines Self Check in computers NOR the agents at the desk are open until 4. So we all stood in line for 30 minutes, and I couldn't help thinking I could have slept those thirty minutes!

My plane took off without incident at 6, and I caught myself sleeping (mouth wide open, I am sure that was pretty!) off and on. The hotel shuttle where I had left my car came to get me and I hit the road home (after a quick gas-up, breakfast run, and stop into Pottery Barn Kids in Frisco). I got home around 1:45, said hi to my puppy, and then went to pick up DD at school at 2:30.

After we got home, I took a nap for an hour and a half, then got all the unpacking done and am on my last load of laundry.
