It was pouring down rain on Friday morning when I got up in the morning. By the time the sun came up up it had cleared and we had herons in the yard:
Pickleball was lurking around the house:
After lunch we headed to the airport. Thankfully, they’ve moved the Hertz area onto the airport grounds so returning the car was much easier than last time. Then we headed over to Terminal A where check was blissfully short as was security. This is the main atrium mid day:
We headed over to terminal A. We had some food and waited on our flight. Terminal A seems to be a little emptier than it’s been in past years. The whole airport seemed a little emptier than usual. I think the sharp reduction in small regional jets in the last couple of years has hit Orlando pretty hard. The terminal is lovely:
The tram that leads from the pain terminal to the gates:
Mr. Poe in his smart new Harry Potter shirt enjoying free internet access. Hello gorgeous:
The main terminal/Hyatt:
Our ride:
The gate. The door alarm wouldn’t stop going off and they were working on it while we boarded:
We got on our flight:
4/29/11 Virgin America Flight 305 MCO-SFO A320 Dep 4:40 PM Arr 7:50 PM
The flight was as stylish as the flight out. We definitely had a screaming baby problem on the flight. Which was incredibly irritating. She screamed pretty much the entire flight. I paid for WIFI again so at least I wasn’t trying to sleep. Mr. Poe wasn’t hungry this time so he didn’t avail himself to the menu but the food choices looked good. This was the cabin in flight:
We were flying one of the older A320′s and it had this cool bar at the back by the galley. The newer ones have a different configuration:
Here it is with the flash:
We got in a little late and collected our luggage. This is the view from the Air Train on the way to BART:
We headed home to the extreme delight of the dogs. I was starving by that point so I made some dinner and we went to bed. I was beat.

Wow! What a fabulous TR!!! I’m glad you are so enjoyable the entire trip. I’m glad you had a great time in Florida. Surely, you certainly can come back to Florida again in near the future.
