March 7: Leaving on a Jet Plane
0300: Loaded the van at the clock tower and headed east to Detroit Metro (Thanks, Kurt!!!). Beautiful crisp morning, starry sky. Check-in at Metro easy thanks to some courteous and helpful new friends at Spirit. Thought we’d have a bit of wait… apprently it was too long for at least one group member who was a bit impatient to go!
The flight - a first for one of our group who had never flown before - was uneventful and ended at Fort Lauderdale when we picked up our vans and set a compass for points south through the southernmost Everglades to U.S. 1 and the “fabulous Florida Keys” as the signs pronounce.
