We Are Off




Day 1, Friday, September 16, 2011
Sometimes getting a one day rental can be a more cost effective way to get to the airport. Super Shuttle charges $40 for one person to DFW. Picking up a $ 20 rental the day before and just returning it when you are ready to leave, cuts the cost in ½.
Whether flying or riding, I discovered staying up and making sure everything is done, and then sleeping during the journey makes the trip quick and painless. I stayed up all night Thursday; the shuttle picked us up at 3:30 am on Friday. By the time I was on the plane at 7:00 am, it was easy to sleep much of the 6 hr. plane ride.
We enjoyed a leisurely pre-cruise night at the Comfort Inn. It has free transfers and breakfast, so it was well worth the cost. This also minimizes the stress of “getting to the ship on time”.
