Woke up this mornin' feelin' fine.........

And then It dawned on me, the reason we were out so early for breakfast at the Yacht Club was because 'our three girls' were leaving today. Breakfast was good and the Bloody Mary complete with three shrimp was interesting and delicious, so I was told. I'll stick to Mimosas myself. Breakfast done, a rental car dropped off and the first airport run completed with no problems for the JB flight. Or so we thought........

But oh, no.......Delta is having issues. A one hour delay. Uh, oh.....two more hours tacked on. Mechanical issues and the new departure time is 5ish if nothing else goes wrong. Time to make some decisions. Karen chose to fly into Atlanta with Rene and connect to JFK. It's gonna' be a late night for her, for sure. All this and then to collect the car and drive back to CT. It happens to every carrier now and then but there were issues with her Delta flight down, too. Makes me think JB may not be sooooo bad after all.

After speaking to Kim, it seems the JB flight had their own issues today. I don't know a lot of details but somehow her flight got diverted into Hartford/Springfield to refuel before ultimately landing at JFK.

So! The kidlets are all gone and left to our own devices, what did we do? We took long naps on our balcony to recharge after spending 5-6 days with them acting as our social directors.

But we did at least rouse ourselves to go to dinner at FIG and Bananas. We shared an escargot app which was lovely and we each had their grilled rib eyes with sides. So full we didn't even consider desserts, but our apps, entrees, drinks (wine and iced tea.....) and aperitifs brought us a total check of $110.00 with no 15% added on. It was all very good and I wouldn't hesitate to return.

A quick deposit at the casino and here we are, home again and ready for lalaland, big party animals that we are.......


Respectfully,

pat
