On the ground in Orange Beach
November 28, 2007Well... we made it.
Right now (12:00 p.m.) I am headed to practice with the soccer team. We checked into our condo right on the beach a bit ago...
But first, the plane ride.
Good lord, that was the smallest plane I've ever flown on. It was a 3-seater. Two seats on one side, and one on the other side of the isle.
My huge camera carry-on bag (the one that I had to unpack at the airport) didn't exactly fit in the overhead bin on this puddle-jumper. The other option was to put it under the seat.... that didn't quite work either.
I basically had to prop my feet on the top of the bag as it was 1/2 under the seat in front of me. I hit my head at least twice on the ceiling. But once we got airborne, I was pretty much asleep instantly.
Once on the ground, it was the usual wait for baggage claim and whatnot, then vanning it to the condos. We weren't exactly sure where on the beach our particular high-rise was. Eventually, we found it.
The view from the balcony of the Gulf of Mexico is impressive... I'll post a photo later when I get a chance. It's quite a bit different from the view on top of the Flyover.
Well, we're at the practice facility... so I'm going to get back to work.
