Florida Vacation

At last I have time to post some of the photos from our vacation in Florida. It turned out to be a long travel to get there. We first tried to leave on Sunday a fortnight ago. Unfortunately our plane got overbooked and since we travel on standby tickets we had to postpone until the next day.

Then on Monday after having told the security personnel at the check in counter most of our life’s history, what was in our bags and how we had packed it we were informed that our flight was delayed 4 hours. The day before we got to know another pair that got stranded from the same flight. It was a Swedish American girl at Ks age and her father – an American.
We kept together on the wait and the flight over to Newark. Good company for the both of us.

Arriving in Newark, and using approximately 30 minutes in the immigration which took our photo and fingerprints, we checked in on a flight to Orlando, Florida. Then that flight got delayed too. We did not arrive in Florida until 1 am which is at 7 am European time. After using another two hours to get our bags and finding a hotel we were pretty tired.


The next morning we got up relatively early and decided to try a flight down to Key West.
Most things went smoothly except for security at the airport where they got to see my pilot ID. I was immediately taken over to the high security zone and sniffed for explosives. I now know that none of my travel property has been near any explosive materials.

We arrived at Key West at 11 am.
