COMING HOME

Friday morning we got up, ate breakfast, and made a beeline for the easy walk off to customs. That was probably the easiest check I've ever seen (all of 30 seconds), but we only spent about $40 on the islands themselves!!!

Our plan was to ride a bus over to the airport since our ride to the port was SO eventful. I didn't think that we were going to make it to the cruise actually. But, I asked about it after the signups were complete. So a taxi it was. The ride to Miami airport was uneventful --- the way I like it. And it ended up being cheaper, even with a tip included.


Miami was 81 degrees when we left. On the trip from Dallas-Fort Worth to Salt Lake, there was Wi-Fi service, so Brandon took them up on the offer ($9.95 - which was definitely cheaper than internet service on the cruiseline I might add.)

When we arrived in Salt Lake, it was a cold 34 degrees. Quite a difference. Amy and Justin picked us up. Thank you!!!

Since Dawson threw up on Thursday, we thought that we'd better go home that night.



We arranged with Grandma and our neighbors to have the kids sleep in their own beds for the first time that week. We arrived home at 12:30 am Saturday morning. It was definitely great sleeping in our own beds, but the drive home was awful. We had a difficult time staying awake! But we made it!

The kids were happy to see up, but not overjoyed. Would we do it again? In a heartbeat! Infact, we are hoping that the business that put this on will do it again and make it an annual event.
