Gulf Shores Here I Come

Uncategorized 1 Minute

Up at 3:00am to head off to the airport to begin my day long journey to Gulf Shores, Alabama. Thank-you to my son-in-law Scott for getting up sooooo early to drive me there. What a nice thing to do.

My itinerary:

Charlottetown,PEI -Toronto,Ontario- Houston,Texas – Pensacola, Florida. Richard’s picking me up in Pensacola as it’s only a little over an hours drive from there to Gulf Shores.

A long day.

Air Canada for the first two flights and then United for the last one.

Left Charlottetown at 5:25 headed to Toronto, Ontario. What a great flight. No issues. A first for me. I flew with Aeroplan air miles and poor me I had to fly Business. Isn’t that such a hardship? Too bad I couldn’t do that every time: big, comfy seats, a full course breakfast, iPads and headphones. Fabulous!

In Toronto it can be rather time consuming getting through US customs but thank goodness I have a Nexus card. What a breeze. No lineup for me at all. Yippee!

Again another on time flight. This one to Houston, Texas. And yes, Business class again. And another great meal. Easy to get spoiled.

Now in the Houston International Airport I landed at Terminal A. I had an inkling that I wasn’t in the correct terminal for my next flight. I was correct. I had to go to Terminal B by finding and taking the Skyway. And yes I did it and didn’t get lost. Whew! Once there I had the bright idea to check at the United Airlines Service Desk to see if there was an earlier flight to Pensacola, Florida. They put me on stand by.

So here I sit waiting to see if I get on the 4:25 pm flight or if I have to wait for the 7:55 pm flight (my original flight). Fingers crossed.

Will let you know.

Cheers

With retirement comes the opportunity for new experiences. Debi has a passion for music, singing, theatre, and travel. With her BMEd and MEd she had an extensive career which included elementary music education, performing, vocal instruction, choral conducting, musical theatre directing, and clinician work. She has, for the most part, retired from this very successful music career. But really, does one ever retire from music? I think not. So now the stage is set for the next act: interweaving her love for music, travel, and whatever else comes her way. Wherever her travels take her Debi shares her exploits: musical adventures, local interests, historical sites, local cuisine, the journey there and back, plus whatever life sends her. She'll share the hits and the misses, the successes and the failures, as well as any helpful hints she discovers along the way.
