Another one in the books for Jay and family! Safe travels home tomorrow! I wonder if we're going home to the dog days of August in New England?

Safe home Jay and family! It’s 66 degrees here in Quincy this morning, I imagine it’s a little warmer your way. Thanks for sharing your vacation.

I'm just catching up on your wonderful trip. It sounds like everyone had a great time. I have to say, you wife was a lot more controlled than I would have been. Karma will come to that ignorant woman.

Thanks everyone. Home safe and sound. It was a long day of travel. We checked out at 1030 and took a cab to the Ritz to grab breakfast and say our goodbyes to some friends. It was our 1st breakfast out of the week and I think I ate enough to last me all day long. The Ritz breakfast always hits the spot. I couple of omelets later plus a bunch of other yummies I was prepared for the lack of great options at airport.

Speaking of the airport, all I can say is WOW! And this wow is not a good wow. It was a not looking bad to start but it quickly became something I haver never experienced in our previous 37 trips. I could go on and on about the issues but I will pass and just say it took us just shy of 3 hours to get through it all. Never seen so many people miss their flights. We arrived 4 hours early so we did not have an issue BUT if we were 3 hours we would have missed our boarding for sure. So my advice is to get there early if you don't have Global Entry. Even with that it would have been a long day but much better- with how the lines are going now I think its a must do if you travel often- its on my list of things to do.

Last thought on our condo experience....really loved the extra space! The washer and dryer were a great bonus as well. Would we stay at the Waykari again? Yes we would. Little bit of a walk but we did not mind.

Thanks for reading. Back to work for me in the morning preparing for my upcoming season but there is nothing I rather prepare for - well except a trip to Aruba of course.
