Our flight home was cancelled and now we're on a new flight a few hours later. Is there anywhere recommended to have lunch where we can still see the car? We have to abide by a checkout time and will therefore have all our luggage. must admit I paid zero attention to the airport when we arrived because I was too excited - but surely there's a bar or restaurant within ? We will have a long and late stretch of travel so want to make sure we have a substantial lunch. Any recommendations, much appreciated. ( is there parking on the immediate vicinity of the driftwood bar, and is their food at all good?)

You can go to Karakter. They have showers and they will hold your luggage at the bar. Do NOT go anywhere and leave your luggage in the car. Please don't do that. Driftwood has OK food, but there is NO way to know whether you would be lucky enough to get a parking spot out front, but regardless do NOT try to leave the luggage in the car.
If you decide to go to the airport, there is a food court downstairs and there are a couple of restaurants upstairs (inside security) where you can get a full meal. Or you can go to the Souliga Lounge. It is $20 per person and includes light snacks, like mini quiches, chicken wings, etc. and wine (but not hard liquor, for which you have to pay). They have comfortable seating, TV's, etc.

You have been lucky. It takes the criminals about 30 seconds of your inattention to ruin a great vacation.

Good, it's just not worth the risk to keep the luggage in the car. As I said, if you're going to be there for a while, consider the Souliga Lounge. $20 a person is about two drinks at the airport...

Is checking your luggage at the airport earlier in the day an option? Depending on the airline, we have done that and then had lots of time to go for a nice lunch (often Ernest & Fidel's - good food, nice ambiance, breeze and you can stay dressed for your flight)before dropping off the rental car.
