Cameron spent the day getting ready for his trip to Florida. He didn't have a lot to pack, but he did have to walk to Brett's, get the van, fill it with gas, attend all of his classes and take a quiz at 6 p.m. before he left for the Indianapolis airport. The trip got a little stressful once he arrived. There was only one person working the TSA security check in, so it took four times as long as normal to get through. There were people cutting to the front so that they didn't miss their flights which only added to the stress. To make matters worse, one of the baggage scanners stopped working in the middle of the chaos. I didn't realize that any of this was happening until he called me afterward to let me know that he was on his way to the gate with five minutes left before boarding. He made it on to the plane with no problem. The only issue was that he had to skip dinner.
Once I saw that his plane had departed, I left for Orlando with a bag full of snacks in tow. The trip down was filled with construction and semi trucks. I didn't love that part, but enjoyed talking to Meg on the phone and listening to George Harrison music on the way. I arrived at the airport at 11:25, but it took awhile to get through the arrival traffic and into the parking garage, so it was close to 11:45 by the time I walked into the terminal. By the time I sat down to wait for Cameron, his flight had landed. He was the last person off of the tram, but we were just both happy that he had made it safely and his spring break could start.
Thankfully, there was a lone McDonald's open in the food court, so Cameron could get french fries and a Shamrock Shake before we headed to Ocala. The drive home was a lot better and I really had fun talking with Cameron. He played a lot of music from History of Rock N Roll and told Andy stories just like Meg used to when she took the class. We arrived home at 2 a.m. exhausted, but excited to finally be able to enjoy our week together.
