*~*~*~*~*~*

Saturday morning started bright and early for us, getting packed up with our last minute belongings before disembarking the ship. We headed off for our last breakfast. Sheldon from India, our head server, posed with Herry, our assistant server, for a last picture. (Pay no attention to my sister's crazy hair. ;))

As we waited to disembark, Hannah and I got a shot together in front of the Mademoiselle Minnie statue. 

The screen reads, "See Ya Real Soon!" We hope so!

Saying goodbye to the ship as we cross the gangway back to land.

Check out all those luggage carts!!!

While we waited for the limo back to the airport, Hannah talked to her Bubba for the first time in a week. She was a happy girl afterwards. :) 

One last shot of the ship as we drove away.

So, here's an interesting tidbit about air travel. Apparently, you can only check in 4 hours before your flight. We got to the airport around 10:00, so we couldn't check in and had to wait until 11:15 to do so. The upside was that this gave us time to make sure all of our luggage was under 50 pounds. One wasn't, so we got to switch this all around and save money (and the time of people behind us in line). This also meant we had time to go back to get my boarding pass, which the gate attendant had not given us when we checked in. We also had time for lunch at Macaroni Grill. It was odd paying for food the first time, and it was a supreme let down after Remy the night before, but it filled us up just fine. Oh, and it meant we got the cushy seats at the Southwest gate, the ones that are like lounge chairs with plugs right beside the for charging electronic devices. 

While we waited, Hannah finally pooped out and slept for about an hour before the flight. 

Our flight to Ohio was relatively uneventful, and it was wonderful to see Mom at the airport. Hannah ran up to her and threw her arms around her. We regaled her with stories from the trip on the way home and slept in our beds for the first time in two weeks. We had a WONDERFUL time!!!
