Long travel
Up at 5:30 a.m. off the ship by 7:00 a.m. Or, at least in line to get off the. Ship. 1 hour shuttle to Athens airport.
So much walking, confusion, lines, misunderstanding, etc. The Athens airport left much to be desired in the way of info, signage and organization.
Athens to Rome. About 2 hours. Rome was just BIG and didn't label their gates. Then when we did find gate assignments, they changed them. I didn't have a boarding pass for one flight, too. Rome to San Francisco was an 11 hour flight. Three movies and two naps, a couple of meals.
San Francisco was huge, customs, walking , lots of walking,changing terminals, re-claiming and re-checking baggage, even though it was all checked through to Las Vegas. We barely had time to use the toilets and refill our water bottles before it was time to board our Las Vegas flight.
We didn't have seats together on that mostly- empty flight ,( about 2 hours). We mostly slept. We were so tired.
In Las Vegas, we were the last to claim our luggage. It was the fourth airport and Mike's feet and ankles were killing him. Wheel chair time. We found one close by.
We found our car!
We ate "breakfast" at in and out burger with about 200 other folks.
They crank out the burgers and fries!
Drive, drive, drive . . .
