Day 116 May 1 - Ft. Lauderdale–Dallas

Our wake up call was at 7 and it was 73 degrees with 90% humidity under cloudy skies and 6 knot winds.  We had coffee on the verandah on last time before dressing to go home.  We went to breakfast at 8 and then to the aft deck to await our group number to be called.  They finally called it at 9:10 and we went ashore to find our bags among the hundreds in the terminal.  Luckily, ours were all very close together, but it took a long time to find a porter with a large cart for our 12 bags.  Customs and Immigration went very smoothly and we boarded the bus to the airport at 10:15.  Because of some kind of confusion by one passenger, we were delayed leaving the port and were finally off the bus at the airport at 11.  We boarded the  plane at 11:40, took off at 12 and arrived at DFW at 2:15.  We were met by our driver and after the 4 bags we checked came out, we were driven to our house and arrived at 3:15.  Casey, our dog, was very happy to see that we had not been kidnapped by pirates.
