Cheeseburger in Paradise! Tuesday report.

Except for the lack of an actual cheeseburger.

( Tuesday, in the Philadelphia Airport )

( 3:30, somewhere over Virginia )

( 5:30, Tampa Airport )

( 7ish, over the water )

Cheeseburger in Paradise: Wednesday (and a bit of today)

Short-short version: Yes, we were supposed to be home by now. No, we're not. Yes, the cats are fine.

Yesterday morning they told Lewis he was going to have to stay another day. Yesterday afternoon he realized that we still get the military rate at the hotel even if we stay extra. So now we're staying until Sunday and, since there are no flights out of Key West, we'll be driving up the Keys on Sunday to fly out of Ft. Lauderdale around seven.

However, we haven't got there yet in the updatage...this is all still from the handwritten journal I've been carrying around everywhere.

( 11, having just missed the shuttle into town, sitting in the lobby, Wednesday )

( almost noon, just outside the hotel )

( almost one, Mallory Square, perched on the seawall )

( 3-ish )

Commentary: Didn't get to see Karen that night; Lewis got out of work too late. We didn't get to go on the schooner, either. Something to save for next time...

In fact it's one convention: a Florida association of gay and lesbian police officers. Tonight they're doing karaoke. We're a little unnerved.
