Cruise 2011 - Travel Day

After almost nine months from when we booked it was finally here! As we had such an early flight from Victoria Mark and Robyn spent Tuesday night at our house. After a few rum drinks and Champagne it was bed time. At the most we got about 3 hours sleep, just too excited. Kris was at our house at 0410 to drive us to the airport, he had to work early so it was very convenient for us. We departed YYJ for SEA at 0600. The flight arrived in SEA on time, quickly retrieved our bags to clear Customs and Immigration. Then onto the train to change Terminals, we were asking the information man what to do when Dave said "quick let's go" I hopped on the train with him only to see Mark and Robyn staring forlornly at us from outside the door! We gave a little wave and away we went! Luckily the trains run constantly and they caught up a few minutes later. So when you travel with the Reaville's and we say jump ya better hop to it!





Got to our gate and it was coffee and bagel time. Our flight departed SEA for DFW (Dallas) at 0825, we were a little late due to the flight being completely full and there were too many carry on bags. A few folks had to check them and we were on our way. Good thing we were armed with Ipods, e-readers, and books as there wasn't even music on this plane. We arrived in Dallas at 2:15 PM local, hungry and thirsty. We once again had to change terminals via trains. The Byrne's kept up this time! Went to TGI Fridays for Margarita's and food. We were a little late leaving Dallas but a pleasant flight none the less. Arrived San Juan at about 11:00 pm, all luggage arrived safely and off to the hotel. Of course we were hungry and thirsty again.... Off down the street for pizza and Corona at an outdoor cafe. Headed back to the hotel completely exhausted for much needed sleep.
