Stupid Guest Tricks

So in March I'm going on a cruise leaving out of the port of Miami. I started looking at airline prices, which are ridiculous, but I digress. I finally found a really good set of prices on Southwest.com and made the reservations.

It wasn't until I got the confirmation letter and was sending an e-mail out to a friend that I realized I just bought two roundtrip tickets to Orlando instead of Miami. Southwest doesn't even fly to Miami!

Luckily, since Southwest is the best airline evar, I was able to call them and they just canceled the tickets and refunded the money. Hooray!

I may have a trip to Orlando in the summer, but not in March. It's really tough to catch a cruise ship out of Orlando, ya know?

No it's not! You're only an hour away from Port Canaveral. Actually, less than that if you fly into the airport. We love combining our Disney trips with a 3-day Disney cruise to the Bahamas.

Sure, if I were going on a Disney cruise. It's a considerably longer drive to the port of Miami.

That's very true.

Southwest does fly into Fort Lauderdale, though I don't have the faintest idea how difficult it would be to get from there down to the cruise ship terminal in Miami.

There is a shuttle that runs to the port. Takes about half an hour. Costs $15 plus tip. I haven't tried it myself, but I can give a report in March.

Unfortunately, Southwest didn't have any flights that would allow me to make the ship. And I couldn't fly out the day before because I will be in Urinetown that night.

Thanks for the tip, but I think we're set. We've got tickets to the right airport and transportation to and from the ship. I might not get any sleep getting there (I can't sleep on airplanes; I can barely sleep in a nice comfy bed), but who needs sleep? It's a vacation, right?

OTOH, we're looking at hitting Orlando this summer. I've never been to Orlando in the summer. Should be fun, or at least warm.

Saying it will be warm is one of the biggest understatements I have seen on here. I have been down there in the summer and can't stand it. Who am I kidding, I can't stand summer here in Utah, I just wasn't built for extreme temperatures.

Well, your fire-breathing would tend to warm up the atmosphere around you...
