Actually, before the sun! As we headed to the airport the sun was still behind the horizon. Snow had fallen and the car was dusted with enough white flakes to require cleaning.
Why so early (5:15 am!)? Our son was headed back to a cruise ship where he works as a theatre production manager. The flight to San Juan, via Minneapolis and other ports of travel, departed at 6:40.
The people most likely to be on the early morning flight? Believe it or not — hunters. More than one gun case was carried on as personal luggage. I still find that a bit incongruous — rifles in the airplane cabin. Now, I know there are all sorts of precautions, but the visual in my mind of rifle cases stored in luggage compartments makes me a bit leary!
Well, we expect Tim will be hanging out in a San Juan hotel tonight, and then headed on board the Royal Caribbean Adventure tomorrow. Have a good rest and may you enjoy the coming year as you work on board the cruise ship!
