| We were up at 0520. We finished packing. Though we were expecting Jessica, it was Sonya who arrived 30 minutes early. The drive to PHL was effortless, arriving by 0740. Baggage check and TSA were just as easy. We had breakfast sandwiches from Cibo’s at gate B6 and boarded at 0920. We pushed back at 0952, but with departing traffic, didn’t go wheels up until 1018 on 27L We each had a pair of drinks; Woodford and Ginger for me and scotch and soda for Lyd. We had snacks of a chocolate brittle and crispy sugar snap peas. Owing to road construction, Chris took us a different way to Bay Lake Tower. Our room wasn’t ready, so we went over to Steakhouse 71 Lounge for a snack. Lyd had a glass of Paul Hobb Pinot Noir (17) and I had a Tito’s and Tonic (13). We split an order of Shrimp Cocktail (16) and Onion Rings (6.50). It was now 1430 and our room still was not ready. We went to the lounge area on the 2nd floor and rested/napped in a pair of very comfortable sofas. At 1550, Buena Vista Rentals called to report an early delivery of my scooter. Just short of 1600, Room 8128 was reported ready and we moved in and unpacked. We went down to Fantasia Market and stocked up for our stay. At 1800, we took the monorail over to the Grand Floridian and the Enchanted Rose to meet up with Mark Evans, but were told he had already gone to dinner. We had a nice conversation with Sandy and Randy from Michigan while Lyd enjoyed a Tanqueray Martini (14) and I had a Maker’s Mark Manhattan (15). Mark joined us for a Crossbarn Pinot Noir (15). We left him with our new friends from Michigan and went over to Citricos. |
