Our 6:00 PM flight finally took off at 10 PM last night because of a concerning chemical smell that was believed to be coming from the air traffic controller headquarters, which affected all the airports in the DC area and Richmond. I guess we can count ourselves lucky we got out at all. That put us in Tampa after midnight, and then we had an hour drive to Sarasota.
*Airport bonus: a large group of middle schoolers were on our same flight, so I could enjoy their antics during the long delay without being in charge of them. A mini-vacation?
After not really sleeping much at all, Maxine and I didn’t hesitate to rouse ourselves by 8:30 this morning to hurry up and relax. Let the unwinding begin.
