Today the ship arrived in Ft. Lauderdale. This was the last day of the 2017 World Cruise. I had a 11:50 flight from Ft. Lauderdale to Atlanta so I was in the first group to leave the ship. At a little past 8 AM I left the ship and went to the area to find my bags, which I had put out in the hall on the night before. It was not easy to find the bags as Holland America puts too many bags in one place. I did find my bags and with the help of a porter I left to go thru security. Their was no line at security and I got to the outside of the terminal where I left two bags with FedEx and took one bag, a carry on and my camera bag with me to the bus for the transfer to the Ft. Lauderdale airport. The first bus was full and I had to wait on the second bus. I got to the airport a little past 9 AM. Our flight took off on time and the plane arrived in Atlanta about 10 minutes early. I had to change terminals and I got to the gate and waited for the 3 PM flight to Wichita. The plane left on time and because the plane had only a short wait for takeoff the plane arrived in Wichita at 4 PM or about 20 minutes early. I got my bags and looked for my ride from Carol and Jim Howard. I saw them in their car and I walked to their car. They were surprised to see me because they thought that the plane had not landed. They took me home and I was happy to be home after 111 days on the ship.
