Your experience at PJIA was better than ours, as it basically took us 2.5 hours altogether, once we arrived at the airport. But I'm sure that doesn't make you feel any better!!! Really takes the air out of a great vacation. And, as Scubaman said, when we came home on June 21, there was a priority line for check in at AA, which I assumed was for first class. When we arrived and left, there was a ramp at the FRONT of the plane, but none at the back. When we were coming home, I was able to use the ramp to board and then head all the way to the back, through the plane. (Especially since most everyone had already boarded by the time we did..)

Sorry about your loss. I'm sure you will feel it much more strongly, once you are home. We are dealing with an issue with one of our dogs now and it has me kind of in knots..

Thanks again for sharing your vacation with us.
