Jacksonville FL

We arrived in Jacksonville airport ahead of our 3:30 pm schedule, but had to wait at the airport until 5 for our scheduled van pickup. About 6 other NARFE attendees waited with us, and soon the group grew to 10-12. The ride into town was longer than expected, and near the hotel there were traffic delays due to the Jacksonville Jaquars upcoming game against the Atlanta Falcons.

Once inside the hotel, we quickly signed in, dropped our bags in the 16th-floor hotel room, and went downstairs for dinner and a drink!
