Today was our last day in Seattle. We had decided to get to the airport early and get breakfast there. We ordered an Uber to take us there. We probably arrived around 8:20 AM or so for our 10:20 AM flights. Nancy’s flight was on time, so after breakfast, she and my younger daughter headed to their gate.
One of the downside sometimes of getting free flights is that they tend to happen at odd times. In this case, our flight to Seattle for our Alaska cruise was scheduled to leave Dulles at 7:00 am. The night before our flight, I got an alert from United that our flight would be delayed by 30 minutes. The message said that we should still show up on time, so that is what we planned on.
For the summer of 2019, we had originally decided on a 10-night Mediterranean cruise on the Disney Magic. As we got into the Summer of 2018, we came to the conclusion that we couldn’t make the cruise work with our schedule and our budget. We already had a few cruises in the books that we had to pay for as well as a lot going on that would make it hard to plan a Europe trip. Canceling that cruise was a huge burden lifted off our shoulders.
It was time to leave San Diego and head back to our home outside of Washington D.C. Our flight was really early this morning, at 7:55 am. We had an Uber pick us up around 5:00 am and we headed to the airport. We got our bags dropped off and headed to find some breakfast before we boarded the flight.
