Raleigh to Disney World

It was an adventure in traveling today. We were up at 3:15 to lots of snow falling in Raleigh – the first snow in years. The cab came at 4, and we slip-slided to the airport. Check in was fine, and we boarded the plane at 5:30. At 6 we backed away from the gate and got de-iced which took a half hour. But then the runway wasn’t cleared yet, so we waited and waited. We de-iced for a second time and finally took off at 10, four hours late. Luckily I had 3 empty seats and slept for 3 of those hours.

We landed in Houston and waited for an hour and a half for the next flight to Orlando (which was full, but we got on). We got our luggage and boarded the shuttle at 5 to go get the car out of hock at the long-term parking. Then it was another half hour to the RV storage area. It was closed, but we had the code for the gate, and luckily the RV started. Bill drove the RV, and I drove the Tracker to Ft Wilderness. We managed to park in the dark at 8:15 and do a minimal hook-up. It was 27 degrees, so we turned on the heat, went to the Trail’s End for dinner, and soon went to bed. It was still freezing when we went to bed, but we were so tired we would have slept in an igloo.
