Alright, alright...

I actually made it!
5/23 NW 799 EWR-MEM 225P-410P
5/23 NW 960 MEM-MCO 510P-804P
5/26 NW 959 MCO-MEM 710P-809P
5/26 NW 798 MEM-EWR 920P-1256A

So after an eventful rescheduling, I made it into MCO at 8pm. Beckles was curbside waiting to pick me up in his red Mitsubishi Outlander. Oh, I should mention that I got my upgrades on the two segments. I love NW for the ease of upgrading. On the EWR-MEM leg, I had my choice of Spinzels and almonds. On MEM-MCO I chose the corned beef sandwich over the cold pasta plate. I thought the cheesecake was decent.

We headed over to the Hard Rock and picked up Rachel. We agreed to get some bar food, but after searching in vain for a Thai restaurant, we settled on Cafe Tu Tu Tango on I-Drive. Actually, it was Giovanni's idea. Then back to the the Royal Pacific Hotel for a couple of drinks before saying goodbye to Giovanni, dropping Rachel back at the HRH, and checking in to the Residence Inn.
