Day 9 - Back Home

I had my alarm set for 4:00am, but I slept right through it. I was supposed to wake a couple of other rooms up that didn't have any alarms. At about 4:10am Debbie wakes us up. I remember that I was supposed to wake some others up and I ran through the hotel to get them up, but they were already awake. At about 4:30am we left the hotel and about 5 minutes into the drive it starts to rain. The first time we had seen any rain on the trip and it was the first time our bags were inside a vehicle. All the other times out bags were strapped to the top of the vehicles.

We get to the airport and go through all of the checkpoints with no trouble. We flew to Houston, Texas. Here we had to get our bags and get them checked in again. We had an hour in the Houston airport and we barely made it to our next plane. We then flew to Newark. The plane was behind schedule and about 20 minutes of hanging out at our next gate. At 6:30pm we finally landed in Burlington and were warmly greeted by some families.
