We made it and it was quite the adventure. We got to the airport with time to spare but when we were checking in our baggage our large suit case was two pounds over. So there we are on the side walk with our bag open, showing all our personal belongings to the World trying to figure out what to take out to get under the limit. Lucky for us we had brought another back pack so we grabbed two pairs of my jeans and threw them in. It took enough weight off that we made it through ok. Three bags and we were in...big sigh of relief. We got in the airport, took our shoes off, wallet, keys, computer, ipod, belt...Why did I set the alarm off? "Please step back sir and try it again." I did, much slower, much more deliberate...dang it! Please step into that little glass room so everyone can see you why I wand and pat you down. Yep, I was the side show. Took about 10 minutes, in the meantime Elaine is outside my glass show house wondering what in the world was going on. I got wanded and patted down... "Cleared."
Ok, whewww....got to go to the bathroom. There's the guys and there's the girls, meet you here in two minutes. We meet up and while Elaine is filling the water bottle I look at the board and its says they are boarding our flight...holy mackrel...run! of course our gate is the last one. We made it..."Hello, what's your boarding pass number?" "A23, great, we are right behind you." "This is going to Baltimore right?" "Uh, no, this is the flight to Las Vegas." We're on the run again, found the right line and just in the nick of time. We made it. We got a good laugh out of that. We made a stop in Denver and then flew on to Baltimore.
We had a small lay over in Baltimore so we picked up some fish tacos and just sat, ate, and relaxed. We made the next flight to Providence with out any drama, except for the drunk women behind us who loved to talk and show off her liquor breath. We arrived in Providence, picked up the car and decided to take the long way to Plymouth. We drove through the back country and it was beautiful. Tree lined and green and lush. We'll get more pictures today.
We found our little bed and breakfast quite easily. A cute little two story house with our windows overlooking the Plymouth bay. We're right across the street from the Mayflower II. We took a quiet little stroll and went to a place called the Cabby Shack. We were told they had the best Clam Chowder in town, they were right. All in all it was a great day. I loved being with Elaine and chatting about anything and everything. The first day was quite the adventure. We'll keep you updated and get more pics out. Love you all.
