Surprisingly, we did not have to work our way through a picket line to checkout in the morning. Apparently, they were sleeping in. But when we got in the line for the shuttle to the airport we were surrounded by a large Japanese tour group. Somehow, we managed to squeeze all that group of Japanese tourists (another group came out as we were loading) and a few more of us. We had to stand, and there was some pushing and shoving, but at least we were on our way. Our flight was leaving out of the international terminal according to the AA app on our phones. Unfortunately, due to construction, the shuttle could not drop us off at Terminal B, so we got off at terminal 3 and dragged/pushed our bags to terminal B. Once there, we looked at the assignment board and realized that we had to go to terminal 4 to check in for our flight! So we dragged/pushed our bags another ½ mile to terminal 4 to check in. We were amazed when we did not have to pay any overweight charges (one of our bags weighed in at 62lbs, the rest at or below 50lbs)! Then we had to walk all the way back to Terminal B to board our flight. David hates flying from LAX!! Once on board we settled in for our first class ride to DFW. We had a short connection in Fort Worth, but made it with time to spare. Back in Houston, Cynthia and Felix met us at the airport and picked us up. We stopped on the way back to the Wanderer for some much needed Mexican food! Then they took us home! Be it ever so humble, there is no place like home! Cynthia and Felix had visited the Wanderer earlier in the day and left us some much needed supplies (coffee, wine, bread, cheese, lunch meat, bacon, eggs, flowers, etc) to get us through the first few hours home. Thank-you Cynthia and Felix!! David got the air conditioners started and connected the water back up and we were in business! Sleeping in our bed felt soooo goooddd!!
