Up bright and early at 6am. Up in time to have breakfast at hotel, get last minute packing done and on the 7:20 shuttle to airport for our 9:15 flight. We were up, had breakfast and back to room to brush teeth when we got the email…

Okay, no worries. We can just relax for a bit… then they changed again but at least it was in the right direction

So we missed the 8:40 shuttle but caught the 9am shuttle. The driver liked to pack the bags himself so that took a minute but we unloaded at airport at 9:05 and walked just to a hot mess! The self bag drop took 10-15 minutes and then security had ONE LINE open… on a Saturday… in July… at LaGuardia! We waited for a bit, and then decided it would be worth joining “Clear” it basically an ID verification service at airport that you pay for a subscription to and get to skip a lot of the line. So we did a family plan and got to security. Then one of Leo’s crocs fell out of the bin and got stuck in the screening machine. Finally the TSA agent used a long hook to get it and we took off…

Made it to the gate with 9 minutes to spare

Thank you Jesus for watching over us and getting us here safe and on the plane. 😀
