A Long 24 Hours

We've had a long, and interesting, 24 hours. Mike was able to get an earlier flight back from Virginia yesterday, and arrived in Boston at 8:18 pm -- 2 1/2 hours before he was orginally due. We had to wait for his luggage, but made it home a bit before 10 pm. He did laundry and last minute packing, then we were to bed around 11:30 pm.

This morning we were up by 5 am to get ready for the day. We were running early, and ended up at Logan more than 2 hours before the flight. At least we were not rushed :) We had seats assigned in different parts of the plane (the flight was full) but were boarding together when a gate attendant came up to us -- out of a line of people -- and asked if we were together. We said yes, and she took our tickets (we thought she was scanning us to board) and went to the gate desk. We heard her say 2E and 2F to someone next to her.  Woo hoo!!! We got upgraded to First Class as a random act!

The flight was great. We'd fly first class all the time if we could afford to. We were to our hotel, El Convento, by 2:40 pm. Things did not go so smoothly then. After many delays, unplausible excuses, and finally an ultimatum (by us), we were checked in to our room at 7 pm. It was exasperating, but turned out the way we wanted. We have a lovely room in the heart of Old San Juan.  All's well that ends well.

Tomorrow we are off to Culebra for the day. I'll get some photos posted soon -- just too tired tonight.

Smiles!
