Still Here...Part III - The End

We'll our vacation to Marco Island Florida has come to an end - the week went by fast, too fast. We arrived home last night safe and sound after an early start and flight out of Ft. Lauderdale. The trip home was uneventful, except for having to wait an additional 20+ minutes for the shuttle bus upon our arrival at Logan.

We had a great time, enjoyed the beach and pool, experienced a hurricane/tropical storm with ~20 hours without power - even being jarred out of bed at 4AM to mop up water from the bedroom floor, hunted for seashells and a nature ride through Alligator Alley on our way to Miami but most importantly we got to spend some LONG overdue time with my brother and his family!

Still Here...Part II

Well, after the rough start we finally made it down to Marco Island and are having a ball!

We survived hurricane or rather tropical storm Fay. Although, she's still hangin around with strong winds, cloudy skies and random rain showers that last longer than usual.

Stay tuned for updates as our adventures continue...

Still Here...Part I

Well, we're still in Boston this morning to begin our vacation. We've already had an interesting adventure at Boston's Logan airport yesterday/last night/early this AM and we haven't even gotten out of the vacation gate yet!

Our 7:50PM JetBlue scheduled flight was eventually cancelled...at 12:30AMish.

A whole lot of sitting and waiting and waiting and sitting, and waiting and waiting and oh, did I say waiting? - WAITING! Throughout all this sitting and waiting and waiting and sitting, and waiting and waiting we received few and vague updates from JetBlue. They dropped the ball BIG TIME (in my humble, frustrated, pissed and tired of sitting and waiting and waiting and sitting, and waiting and waiting opinion)!

We've been booked on another JetBlue flight departing this afternoon at 4:30PMish. However, we're flying into Ft. Myer versus Ft. Lauderdale, which messes up our original plans of driving through Alligator Alley on our way to Marco Island.

Stay tuned for updates as our adventures continue...
