First order of plans, need airport transfers. I email Kingsley from Take Care Tours. He replies right away, no problem he can pick me up. I call Hampton Inn at CLT to reserve a room for Saturday night. Call Delta for airport assistance. Get my hair done and a pedicure. All week I keep saying pinch me I can't believe I am going back so soon! I get all my stuff in 1 bag to be checked & will carry a backpack on my good arm. First time I have packed so little.....
We get to Charlotte, do a little shopping, & have dinner. Hubby goes right to sleep. Me, the excitement really kicks in, I can't sleep. Alarm goes off, get a quick shower, & ice my arm for a few minutes & catch the shuttle to the airport. Due to the last minute plans, I can't get a direct flight. I check in at Delta & the have a rep with a wheelchair take me to security & my gate. I get to board first. Off to ATL. I get a quick nap on the way. In ATL a rep is waiting for me & takes me to my gate & sits me at the desk. First on the plane again! The stewardess gives me ice for my arm & I take another nap. I get up to go to the bathroom. That was interesting to say the least, but I survived. In no time we were preparing to land. I had the biggest smile on my face. HAPPY FACE, HAPPY GIRL! We arrived about 15 minutes early! Rep meets me & whisks me to immigration. He handed my passport to the officer. I asked if I needed to stand, he said no & we were off to get my bag. I thought no way would the bags be unloaded yet, but there it was. We went to the front of the line at customs & I was out of the airport in record time - about 5 minutes! Kingsley wasn't there yet & the rep didn't want to leave me alone. I told him it was okay & I sat on the bench with my bag. He put the word out with the taxi drivers that I was waiting for Kingsley. About 5 minutes go by & a driver with Take Care Tours sign approaches me & says that Kingsley's son will be driving me. Whew - I was relieved....
Damien has a cold bottle of water for me & we are off. His Dad calls to make sure that everything is alright. Kingsley called again & asked where we were & few minutes later he passes us and we wave at him. We talked all the way to Negril. Damien took great care of me & stopped to get minutes for my phone, supplies, & stopped at Hammond's for patties. Final destination Negril Beach Club. I check in, change, eat my patty, & M is knocking on my door!
