Day 1-Travel to Miami
Woke up at 3:45 am to head to Lambert St. Louis four our 7:21 flight. Pretty damn chilly outside. I was wearing shorts and I think the temp was around 40 or so. After parking the car at the $8.95/day lot, took the shuttle to the airport. We walk in and I ask the wife for the passports to check our luggage. She doesent have them. We left them in the compartment between the seats. So I run outside, hop the next shuttle to the lot, get the passports and hustle back to the airport. Get through security around 6:40a.
OV 1st floor cabin 1324. Sometimes at night it sounded as if heavy machinery was operating on the floor under us. Almost like a big hydraulic press. Not every night, and it would only go on for 10-15 minutes around 11:30p-12:00a.
Laundry facilities on the floor were constantly in use byt what appeared to be the same family most every single night. Sometimes had to go all the way to deck 7 just to iron a shirt.
