Today we had to check out of our hotel. Check out time was 12 noon, so we took our time this morning. Since our plane wasn’t leaving until tonight, we had the hotel store our luggage. Jay wanted to visit the Gaslamp Quarter. I would have preferred to take the trolley down to the Mexican border. We walked for a while and purchased two T-shirts and a couple of key chains (Jay collects them). Then we went to see a movie. When we came out of the movie it had been raining. We stopped to eat lunch and it started raining again. I then decided that we would just get on the trolley and ride it for a while. We returned back to the hotel and got our luggage , then took a taxi to the airport. We were flying on US Airways and they did not have any kiosks to get your boarding passes. The line was very long. Apparently there was a 7:20 flight that most people were trying to get on. After getting our tickets we went through security and walked to our gate. For the first time ever, our gate was the very first one and we did not have to walk all over the terminal to get to it. After a change of planes in Phoenix, we arrive back in Tampa tomorrow.
