Hey, just so you know ... this post is now about 6 years old. Please keep that in mind as it very well may contain broken links and/or outdated information.

We woke up early this morning, grabbed a quick snack breakfast in the hotel lobby, then checked out and drove back to the airport. After returning the rental car, we just missed getting on the shuttle bus so were first in line for the next one (which took a while to arrive). During the ride to Terminal 4 I got an alert from American that our flight was delayed 30 minutes, so that gave us a little extra buffer. Once at the terminal, we checked our luggage and got through security (they had a dog working the line before we split into TSA PreCheck). Since we had a little extra time due to the delay we walked a few concourses over to get breakfast at Starbucks. Our flight ended up being delayed just over an hour total, but finally we were on our way back to Florida.

So another Spring Training trip is in the books. Thursday is Opening Day and it’ll be the first time since 1968 that all of the teams are playing on the same day. The Boys of Summer are back! Usually the Indians come to Tampa early in the season so I see them again quickly, but this year the Tribe won’t be in Tropicana Field until September! (I already have my tickets). But with baseball starting up that means hockey and basketball are getting ready for the playoffs, so I’ll be watching the Lightning and Cavaliers closely.
