airport! This was a long day for everyone. Steve and Michele were up and out at 330am to get an early flight that put them in to Orlando. As Jack asked "when do we blast off?" to Steve, they arrived before before 10am. Jake, Jordan and I along with Joe and Dorothy departed at 815am from Avoca which got us to Charlotte where unfortunately I continued on alone and they took the scenic route to Miami. Jill was bummed out she had to wait all day but was excited to finally get on the road with Jen. They had a bit of a longer layover in Charlotte where Jill broke up the time with some fine 'dance' numbers on the moving sidewalk!!
I arrived at 1245 and grabbed my bag but then headed back to the food court where I saw many of the Invictus Games participants getting ready to head back home. What an impressive group of people. After recharging me AND my phone, I got to use Uber for the first time, and it was a pretty interesting experience. Only UBerBlack gets access to the airport for pickups and I was afraid I summonsed a stretch limo with jacuzzi hot tub. The app showed me "Garrett" would be picking up. I thought for a moment Ryan's brother was in Orlando. LOLI got to the Marriott Villas Lobby and sat down while I heard from Steve. But then I learned from Michele Steve's phone was stolen while at the bigger pool. Ugh. Luckily he has his backup phone but still an inconvenience.
Finally, Joe, Dorothy, Jordan and Jake arrived and it was great to see them. We decided to head to the Marriott Lobby and have dinner and Steve and Michele headed to Disney Springs. As it turns out "Dave" our waiter, has a Disney blog and Instagram account and was a huge Disney fan. Jake and I headed out doors for a bit and shot some hoops and played a little volleyball as the lights kept timing out! Jake's serve has a lot to be desired!!
When we got back to the room, Jen and Jillian were fianlly here! Now we await Joe Joe who comes in on Sunday.
