is trying to leave it. Not just for sentimental reasons.
Tuesday Julie had to work, so Jordan, Matt, and I had brunch at Panera (which reminded me of Swarthmore) and headed to the outlet mall near their place. Turns out that in Florida your mall can be open air, because it's warm there. Weeeeeeeird. We looked around at all the still-expensive outlets, but ended up getting pretty practical purchases. I got a pair of running shoes, and Matt got a pair of shorts and TWO pairs of sneakers, which is nothing short of a miracle. Tip for the tall folks out there: the outlet mall in Florida has a Puma outlet store with a "size 13 and up" shelf where everything is 50% off. For Matt, I think that is what heaven looks like. Anyway, got TCBY and headed back, but it turns out we didn't have to go back so soon because our flight was delayed. It got delayed a couple more times, but eventually it decided on a time, so Jordan and Julie and Sandy drove us to the airport. It was hard to say goodbye to such wonderful friends, but we made them promise we could come back. Thanks again, Julie and Jordan! No thanks, however, to the Orlando airport, which proceeded to be nothing but annoying and stressful. I won't even get into it, but we eventually got safely to New York. Took the LIRR home, which I'd never done. It's pretty fast, and more comfortable than the subway. Not as easy to get to from my apartment, though. Took the bus the rest of the way, and there you have it. We had a wonderful vacation, much needed. Soon I'll post the full set of photos, I promise.
