So, Pacen and I are in Charlotte, NC on a 12-hour layover on the way to Paradise! This is the first time I have ever had a layover longer than 4 hours and I am not liking it. We didn't land in Charlotte until 9:11 pm. We were gonna crash in the airport but we had to get our baggage 'cause they don't keep it with the airline on over-night layovers. Boo!!! So, we got our baggage and called a hotel. They were suppose to have a free shuttle from the airport, but there was no driver tonight so we had to pay $16 for a very short cab ride. Luckily the hotel knocked $10 off our room price. We were both starving so we crossed the street to The Cracker Barrel only to be turned away as it was already 10:00. That led us to the gas station next door where we grabbed some very greasy fried chicken and potato wedges. I am going to look so sexy in my bikini this week. HA! Now we are in our room, full of grease, and trying to stay cool. I just want to be in The Bahamas already! So does Pacen! At least I know 24-hours from now we will be in our hotel room at Atlantis...on the terrace...staring at the ocean...an possibly enjoying a cold Kalik (me only)! Guess I'll hit the hay.
On another bright note, Pacen is a pretty good traveler. He squirmed a little on the flight, but we played card games and that seemed to keep him entertained. He even had me ask the lady in our row to play with us. She happily played and I think she was tickled that we asked her to play. When we got in the taxi, Pacen looked at me and said, "Mom! This is my first taxi ride!" A couple minutes later he whispered in my ear, "Mom. When we get to the hotel will you tell me how to say the cab driver's name?" Well, I had NO idea how to pronounce it. Haha! Okay, now we're gonna hit the hay!
