So we made it. Early, in fact. The in-flight stereotypes made a real push to supply an authentic experience, however, so it was none too soon. I’ll spare you the bulk of it, but my favorite part was the choir of rugrats. There was a sizable flock of children aboard, completely encompassing our group so we could get the full experience in thundering Dolby 7.1 surround sound. The shrill highs, the pulsing lows, and that spine-shattering rapid-fire bass kick from the seat behind. No flight experience is truly complete without the kids, thanks guys.
Anyway, we’re here, and we couldn’t be happier. We got a free upgrade on the rental car (GMC Yukon) to kick things off right, and proceeded to pack in to it 6 people, somewhere between 8 and 12 piece of luggage, and a heaping Costco shopping cart full of food. I’m well versed in packing, but I honestly don’t know how the hell we pulled this off.
The condo is awesome. First floor, on the water, though sadly not the beach (beach is next door). Pool, excellent view, if it weren’t for the 24 hour blistering heat, it would be perfect. Though some would argue that’s more or less what we signed up for.
