So I took a 7:35 PM flight out of CVG and arrived here in Tampa at 10:15PM.  Went directly to Continental Kiosk only to find I cannot check my luggage in until 4:30 AM, sweet....  So I carted my two large checked bags and pack all over to find any place open and to my suprise there was nothing except a 24 hour Starbucks, outside of which I currently sit for its convenient chair/power outlet ammenities.  I juggled the idea of a hotel however after an hour of calling and not recieving any straight answers on airport shuttle services at 5AM I decided it was not worth the $100+ it would cost, so here I am.  Hopefully some of the starbucks fumes will keep me awake, if not I have a bottle of 5hr energy that I have never had before, results of which are to come... Other than that all is well. Greatly looking forward to Guatemala.  I was glad to hear my living arrangements were properly settled at 8AM yesturday morning so I am all good there.  I just took my first airport bird bath, now time to hang out until check in.

nothing is open!

The airport bird bath sounds really enticing. I bet a real shower felt pretty good (assuming you have had one by now). Anyway, hope the rest of the trip went well and please stay in touch. Love, Mom
