10/27/23 Florida Keys tour

The Florida Keys will be our first guided or even paid tour. Adventure Cycling is running this self-supported tour. It starts in Fort Myers, crosses the Everglades on the Tamiami Trail and then runs down the Keys on the causeway.
We shipped Dwight's bike and it arrived fine in Florida, so we prepared to take a flight and arrived at the American Airlines kiosk at about 4:30 AM. They had problems with an incoming plane that was supposed to go back to Dallas, so they took our not quite filled plane and gave it to the Dallas folks. Our plane was rescheduled for 2 o'clock in the afternoon. They did give us food vouchers and we spent a little time playing games, reading and walking the airport.
The flight from Charlotte to Fort Myers went off without a hitch and the Drury inn shuttle picked us up and delivered us to the hotel around 7:30 PM. It was too late for dinner at the hotel, so we walked over to JT's, which had a decent beer selection and food. Rachel and Katie were off visiting with Katie's grandmother and family, so we didn't see them today.
