Fun, Foam, and Fans in Florida

For the past ten years I have taken a trip to Phoenix, AZ to watch Spring training baseball with my friends. This year we decided to travel to Florida to see different teams and check out the Spring Break scene. We wanted to hang-out with the college students and pretend that we were 15 years younger. Steve, Jon and I spent six days there and Mark joined us for two days. The three of us flew round trip first class thanks to frequent flyer miles on American Airlines. I had never flown first class before, just business class once. First class on the planes we flew on, 757 and MD-80, was nice, but not as good as I had hoped. The seats are bigger than in coach, but not much more leg room, and there was no foot rests. The food was good on the first leg of the trip, but the on the leg from Dallas to Orlando all we got was a bag of peanuts, not even heated! Drinks, of course, were plentifully. We landed at 12:30 AM, got our rental car, drove to the hotel and checked in at 2 AM. Then we had to wake up at 9 AM to go to the airport to pick up Mark. This takes us to day 1.
