The last day of our vacation, day twelve 1/11/09

Our plane left at 1:05pm. Perfect! We could sleep in a little bit, have breakfast and be on our way. The resort arranged for transportation to the airport. We checked our bags with the resort so we didn't have to do it at the airport. They printed our boarding passes the day before so we didn't even have to wait in line for those. It was a sad ride to the airport. Monday morning back to reality.....Yeah!!!
The airport in Orlando is huge. It has a mall in it, a hotel and restaurants galore. The best thing in the whole entire airport was STARBUCKS!!!!! Oh yes! coffee. Good coffee. I had not had a good cup of coffee since I left Surprise. Tully's is my favorite but Starbucks was just fine. We all got a big, huge, gigantic cup of coffee. We boarded our plane and were off as scheduled. We had a layover in Atlanta and as we got off the plane there it was STARBUCKS!!!! We all had another big, huge, gigantic cup of coffee. Yes we did!!
As we boarded the plane from Atlanta to phoenix we were amped and ready to get home and get settled in. We were exhausted and Tyler was dying to see his dog. My sister took care of Daisy Mama for us. She picked her up and took her home the night before we left. They fell in love with her and told us when we called to check on her that we were not getting her back. Well we did! I have a yard full of dog poop to prove it.
About 45 minutes into the second flight I was ready to duck tape Tyler's mouth shut. He would not shut up. My nerves were shot. As I thought About it I realized that we forgot to order Tyler's 2nd coffee decaf. OMG we were in for it. That kid loves coffee but we ALWAYS order decaf. He was so wired. We told the Airport in Orlando decaf and as the flight went on I wonder if they had used decaf. I swear it was like he was on drugs. He was a coffee crack head!
The plane ride was pretty turbulent for about an hour. The flight attendants couldn't even bring snacks and drinks because it was so bumpy we all had to buckle. That's OK, I don't thing Tyler needed anymore caffeine.
We arrived on time and Larry was there to get us. We got our luggage and we were off to the parking garage. When we got there Larry had forgot where he parked. Up and down the rows we went. Just what we wanted to do....more walking! We finally found it and headed home.
We got home and Todd and Tyler went to my sisters to get the dog and I stayed home and unpacked. We were all in bed by 10pm because after all we had to get back to work the next day so we could start earning more money for the next vacation!!!!
