"The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in
its net of wonder forever."—Jacques Cousteau

Sept. 22 - Flying Home

“When we get home, home is still the same, but something in our minds has changed and that changes everything.” -Anonymous
Our trip home went much smoother than our trip over. We got up at 4 AM and left for the airport at 4:30. Luckily the airport is only a mile from our hotel. The hotel arranged for a taxi to pick us up and fixed us a box breakfast for us to take with us. This truly was a wonderful place to stay our last night in Madeira.

Check in at the airport was smooth, although they seemed to have a lot of security checkpoints. Customs coming in was a breeze. We upgraded again to business class which gave us plenty of room to rest on our seven hour return flight. We arrived in New York at 9 AM and had close to four hours until our flight to Ithaca. Getting through custom and taking the train to the next terminal was a breeze, but going through security took a while. JFK is huge! It felt wonderful to be back on the boat...so glad we flew to NYC.
I was tired and enjoyed my breakfast...I forgot to take a picture. We had a cheese omelet with mushrooms and tomato, fresh fruit and croissants.
We were back in plenty of time to have one last visit with Bob and Loretta before the boating season ends.
