A major long day, but we are here and the weather is lovely. We stayed over near Providence airport last night at the Hilton Garden Inn. Never again. There was no shuttle service so I had to put the Uber app on my phone - the bed was hard so I has a hard time sleeping - the curtains didn't shut all the way so the lights from the parking lot shone right into our room . . . I had the clock set for 3 AM but woke up at 2:45 and jumped in the shower. That was another weird thing - you had to vault over the toilet to get into the shower - very strange. We got to the airport and through security as soon as they opened (4 AM). When it was time to board I was pulled out of line because they are cracking down on two items per person. I have always carried my backpack, the computer bag and the carry on. This time I had to check my carry on which turned out to be a major problem. We got to Sarasota and my bag wasn't on the carousel. I went to lost luggage and the gentleman there looked it up and said it was coming in on the 1 PM flight from Charlotte. Russ, Cathie, Dave and I went to lunch at Wicked Cantina - food was good, but service was lacking big time. We got back to the airport at 1:30 only to discover that the plane from Charlotte was late. Russ and crew went to the cell phone lot to wait and I texted them when my case finally arrived. We were still too early for the condo (check in was 4) so we drove through town and then down the strip to Turtle Beach before finally getting the code to our unit. Dave went in for a power nap while the rest of us went to Publix for groceries. We are getting ready to play our first game of cards if we can stay awake long enough. We will have snacks for dinner as we are still full from lunch. So no photos today. Will try to get some on tomorrow.
