FINALLY F*ING TIME ignore me I'm tired and already slap happy.

It's a start. I'll bulk up on the ship. #hulk I have it for Android and have loved it. Very easy to use. I have it set to Jingle Bells. YEEEEESSSSS!!!!!!!!

Standard hotel breakfast offerings, but good nonetheless when you haven't eaten in quite a while.

It was so good. It's the barbecue chicken pizza, if you're ever going through that airport. I have to laugh, because I also have The Key. Guess I'll use that boarding pass but I'll just go into that line instead. Thanks for the screenshot tip!

Food porn is always good porn. It took awhile, but we did it! I think the most interesting part of my flight was the fact that I was sitting next to a pilot. He said that he regularly flies the 737 Max 8 for his airline in Brazil. He had all kinds of great comments about the plane and flying in general.

YES! I say this all the time and Spouse thinks I'm crazy. I'll probably crash hard this afternoon.

I'm excited, thank you!

After just over 3 hours of sleep, IT'S CRUISE DAY!!!!! But let me back up. We ended up waiting at the Denver airport for almost an hour for some flights that were coming in late. Unfortunately, no one that was on those flights that was supposed to be on our leg showed up, so we left without them. We arrived at MIA around 12:30 a.m., but the bags didn't come out until after 1:00. Then, I had two different Lyft drivers cancel rides on me, so by the time the third driver actually picked me up, it was 1:45 a.m. He got me to hotel, I checked in, and when I was in the room, it was 2:17 a.m. Ugh. I am at the Hyatt Place Miami Airport-West/Doral. It's your standard Hyatt, which is perfectly fine. Went to bed at 3:00 a.m., and it's now just about 7:00 a.m. in time for me to start repacking suitcases, get dressed for the day, and find something to eat since the last thing I ate was in the Denver airport yesterday afternoon. But... IT'S CRUISE DAY!

My luggage made it! The pre-teen in me is laughing at the street name...

It's beautiful by night! Excited to get to the hotel now.

WELCOME TO MIAMI!!!!

I like this sign. I don't like that they just delayed the flight by 20 minutes. Hopefully that's all that happens.

I think I remember that you had this for oasis, @asquared17. What does it even do?

SNACK SHACK. Excuse me, I need to go wipe the drool off my phone...

I love that they are doing this. My cruise board has had plenty of people having issues even today. So kind to wait!

The bonus of coming through Denver is that I get to go to my favorite airport restaurant. Definitely beefing up my food game prior to tomorrow, @OCSC Mike.

Even with the late transfer to this flight, I got my ideal aisle seat! So grateful.

I love Denver's airport, I'm sure it will be fine here. Halfway there with flights! That seems gargantuan. Is it unwieldy?

OMG I FEEL SPECIAL (what am I getting????? )

Did my health check. Less questions this time than I remember in September.

1. I love the snow in the mountains around here. You can see but not experience. 2. Car loaded. 3. I have RARELY seen the counter in Tucson busy. Only when Southwest is having a whole-system meltdown. 4. Bags are dropped off! Now I only have to manage my carry-on and backpack. Was very perturbed that it took longer than 90 seconds to enter security, get my TSA pre-check done, and pass through security.

Me too! So far so good.

UPDATE: Spouse talked things through with me. I am skipping the event this morning, we called Southwest, and they rebooked me onto a flight that leaves at noon from TUS- DEN- MIA. Spouse's reasoning is that there are many more flights for me to choose from out of Denver should something happen versus Dallas Love Field. Also, the flight from Denver to Miami is not delayed at this point. I love Spouse's calm reasoning versus my anxiety/panic. I do lose the $25 on the early bird check-in, however, I booked this trip on points, so I'm out $36 at this point. My Southwest credit card also allows me to purchase at the airport the a1-a15 boarding group if there's space available and I get reimbursed, so I'm going to do that as soon as I get to Denver to try to get better than the C boarding group that I have. Off to the airport now.

So far, I'm very pleased with it. It is a bit unwieldy, but we'll see how it goes in the airport. I'm curious to see how it goes through baggage as well. I was thinking about getting a cover for this one, but time got away from me on that. We'll see how it goes this trip and I may get one for next trip.
