Orlando, Day 5: Amazing flight luck!

No, I'm not talking about landing in the Hudson ... we had some excellent luck getting on overbooked flights on our way home. While that's not quite as incredible as flight 1549, we were pretty happy to get home on overbooked flights we thought we'd never get on.

The non-stop flight from Orlando to Phoenix was way too full, so we decided to try going through Charlotte instead. The first flight we tried was overbooked too, but we took the long shot and actually got on! We stopped in Charlotte, had lunch and watched part of the inauguration, then tried another overbooked flight to Phoenix. Even though this one looked even more full, we managed to get on and get seats next to each other. Truly amazing!

Thanks to the Eggert family for a fantastic time!
