Florida Trip Travelog #18
Back Home - Tue, 27 Sep 2022, 2pm
Whew. What a half fun, half crazy trip the past 10 days have been. But now I'm home. My flights from Jacksonville, Florida this morning were uneventful. We left on time, we landed on time, I watched a movie on each flight. It was all borderline boring... which is how flying should be!
BTW, it was worth the effort to drive to Jacksonville to leave Florida a day earlier. I saw this alert today after I got home:

The earliest flights available to rebook on Southwest as of Monday morning leaving Orlando were Wednesday morning. I picked a 9:30am departure because it had not-crazy connections. With the airport shutting down entirely at 10:30 I'd say there's a strong chance the 9:30 departure willl be canceled. If I didn't do what I did, I'd likely be stuck in Orlando another 5+ days.
Update: In fact it has already been canceled. I checked Southwest Tuesday afternoon, and the Wednesday 9:30 flight has already been canceled. If I'd waited in Orlando instead of driving to JAX I'd be stuck now.
Update 2: And now the hurricane is headed toward Orlando! 😱
