Key West - Flight delayed! What to do?

 

The crew departs!

The kids called the airport in the morning and found that their flight was delayed on the way into Key West. The revised schedule into Ft Lauderdale would have them missing their connection to Hartford! What to do? We all quickly decided that the best strategy was to rent a car and drive to Ft Lauderdale. That way, they would be sure to arrive in time for the flight north. 

The raw bar. shucking oysters. 

They called Enterprise to reserve a car for a pickup at 2:00 pm. That was a little tight for the drive to Ft Lauderdale so they packed their bags and call Uber for a ride to the Enterprise rental agency. Waiting at the office, a rental came in ahead of time and they we given first dibs on it - and Enterprise allowed an upgrade at no extra charge to an intermediate SUV, a Toyota Rave. 

Like anywhere in Key West - you have chickens 
Wandering around

With that bit of excitement settled, they were off north. As I write this, they are at the Ft Lauderdale airport waiting to board their flight. They won’t be home until the wee hours but it will be in time for Monday jobs. 

Meanwhile, I took my all-time date out for dinner at the Raw Bar. We didn’t have anything raw but it was good. Ann had fried oysters and I had a fried conch sandwich - preceded, of course, by conch fritters. On Sunday, it’s time to rearrange the boat, moving all the stuff we stored to make room for three large people back to the aft cabin so we have more room to move around. Sure is quiet around here…
