Getting off the boat went well. Picking up our luggage went quickly and finding the bus we needed wasn't obvious but it was rather easy.
On our way to the airport we got notified that our flights had been canceled due to thunderstorms in Dallas. (They got a ton of rain. I saw many pictures of flooding over the next few days.) Anyway, they wanted to rebook us at 6:30AM the next day, which obviously would have been annoying.
Since we booked our flights via the cruise line and not independently, Ben was able to make a few phone calls and get our airline switched so that we could get home only an hour later. (It was a bit hard to find the correct phone number, but he did a nice job.) So we were at the airport significantly earlier than we needed to be, but that was rather good because the security check line was LONG. We probably stood in it for an hour. Turns out when three cruise ships all unload at the same time the airport gets a bit overwhelmed.
Our flight leaving Seattle was a little late. However, we were able to stop at a bathroom and walk (albeit very directly) to our next flight. We were just getting to the gate as they started to board.
My luggage wheels broke off during the flight. I was very happy that they at least waited until our last stop to break, because I couldn't carry the 50 pounds easily. Since it was already broken I just dragged it to the car. The plastic got very hot (friction) and I almost burned myself getting it in, but reflexes kicked in.
We finally got home and the cats were happy to see us.
