My sister Susan and I flew back to Denver yesterday afternoon after spending 6 weeks in Stuart, Florida. It was definitely hot and humid down there, but the breeze off both the ocean and the St. Lucie and Indian Rivers makes it much more tolerable. Plus, there are always fans on waterfront restaurant patios, which also helps. Not to mention a cold IPA while gazing at the yachts from the patio of the Sailor's Return Restaurant. In any case, it was an enjoyable time down there, despite the heat, and I hope we can head back there when it starts to cool down enough for bicycle rides along the water. I might be crazy, but not that crazy.
Our flights back to Denver were on time and pleasant enough, but I was surprised by the huge crowds at both Palm Beach International and Charlotte Douglas International Airport, where we changed planes. They say air travel is booming this summer, and I am here to tell you it is true. Both our flights were full, and sitting in the back on both planes, it took quite a while to get to the concourse, which looked like in the photograph on the right that I took in Charlotte. Of course, you can always pay more to sit closer to the front, but as a confirmed cheapskate, I say what's the hurry?
