While the rest of the ship’s passengers fought their way through the Aloha buffet, we had a relaxing breakfast at the Lazy J….steak and poached eggs. James escorted us off the ship---once again, avoiding the long departure lines. It would have been perfect….except when we went to the VIP area to collect our bags, my bag wasn’t there. Evidently, ‘bag switching’ is a common problem—people walking off with the wrong bags. This group evidently was one of the worst they’ve ever had. They had over 10 people with missing bags. Instead of doing our last minute shopping, we spent the morning waiting for someone to realize their mistake. When the last bag left had a green ID tag, they found the culprit. Fortunately, they were only at the Hilton and once their bags were delivered, they got back into a taxi and returned my bag. It was a bit amusing to see this grossly obese woman pulling my bag out of the taxi and realizing what a surprise it would have been to her to find my clothes instead of her plus-sized ones.
We got to the airport early—and got through security in the “Gold Lane”---easy, peasy. Our flight home wasn’t so bad. We got onto the plane at 2 PM, got our dinner and wine (and more wine and Courvoisier). We got into Los Angeles with an hour layover. When we got onto the 10:45 PM flight, we were amused to find one of the first class passengers—a huge St Bernard “service dog”.
We had a few more glasses of wine and a few Baileys and slept. We arrived in Orlando at 6:30 AM and went home for a quick nap and Sunday afternoon at the Freezer.
