It all went swimmingly this morning. We had everything packed up and in the car in plenty of time, left Bradenton Beach feeling very sad, did the drive to Tampa over the Sunshine Skyway Bridge, which was amazing. Got to the airport with loads of time to spare, checked in no bother.
Said a sad goodbye to grandma Sue at Tampa Airport. She's taking a flight to Philadelphia too, but it's two hours after ours.
Kids were wonderful on the plane... apparently. I took a couple of Dramamine and slept through the entire flight. My whole body had that completely relaxed drugged feeling that you get when you're very tired and take the appropriate prescription drugs. Mike sat them all together, put Horton Hears a Who on the DVD player, and had a few minutes peace.
Got to Philly and rushed from one side of the airport to the other so we could be here for the 4.10pm takeoff. Just as we got to our gate they announced our aircraft has maintenance issues and is delayed by an hour. Oh well. It was too good to be true.
The US Airways guy at the desk just started announcing something about our delay, but the passengers all started shouting at him so he just walked off. We suspect he's gone for a cigarette and a bitch to his colleagues. The phone at the desk just rang, and we're thinking about answering it and asking whoever's on the other end if we can have a different plane please. What do you think?
