Florida vacation – Day 5, the long trip back to MA

Posted by on August 12, 2021

The final day was a long travel day. Lili and I said goodbye to Tony and departed Ocala at 11:30am. We got to Ft Myers just after 3pm. I gave Lili a 15-minute tour of downtown Ft Myers (which is about how long it takes to see downtown Ft Myers) then stopped for some fast food at McDonald’s. Except that it wasn’t fast – we were 20 minutes in the drive-through lane. That got us to my home RV site about 30 minutes before the Uber was scheduled to arrive, so Lili got the 5-minute tour of my site (again, that is about how long it takes), then I dropped her and the luggage off at the community center, drove back to the site, left the Toyota and did the 5-minute walk back to where I left her.

Which is when the skies decided to open up. I got soaked on the 5-minute walk. Naturally the shower stopped as soon as I got to her.

The Uber showed up on time and got us to the airport by 4:30pm, in plenty of time for our 6:45pm flight. That flight was uneventful but the last flight, from Dulles to Hartford, was delayed by an hour. We didn’t get to Hartford until 1am and by the time I got the luggage and the truck and drove her home to Worcester it was 3am. I didn’t get back to the RV until 4am.

I got 2 hours of sleep then got up for my softball game. And had my best game of the year – 4 for 6. Maybe I should always play softball on short sleep.
