I used the App to request an Uber to arrive about 10:30 AM to take us to the Orange County Airport (SNA). Usually we request the least expensive UberX but decided to call for an Uber Comfort instead as those cars tend to be a bit larger than the least expensive UberX. The App showed that at this time the Uber Comfort was only about $6 more than the UberX.

Unfortunately, sometimes what arrives is not a car larger than an UberX, but just what Uber considerds a superior, or more "comfortable" car than an UberX. I saw that a Tesla Model 3 would be arriving. I have a Tesla Model S and a Tesla Model X and know they have plenty of room for the luggage we were bringing. But a Tesla Model 3 is smaller than both a Tesla Model S, Tesla Model X, and even smaller than a Tesla Model Y. I wasn't sure there would be enough room for all our luggage. But, it turned out that everything just fit. The driver had some of his own things in the trunk and a case of water bottles.

Everything might not have fit, but we reminded him that he also has room in the Tesla Front Trunk ("Fronk"). He totally forgot that the Tesla has additional room in the front truck and said he rarely used it. By putting some of his own things in the Frunk and one of our suitcases on the front passenger seat, there was enough room for all of our luggage.

The traffic was relatively light and we arrived in plenty of time for our flight. The flight departed a few minutes late but arrived on time into Austin, Texas, where there was about an hour layover between planes. Fortunately the gate for our connecting flight was just a few gates down from our arriving flight.

Our second flight arrived a little early into Orlando, but then it took our plane a while to get to the gate as another plane was still parked at our gate. So despite landing early, we arrived at our gate at about the scheduled time.

My sister, Marjie, who lives in the Orlando area was nice enough to pick us up and take us to our hotel. The hotel didn't have any more first floor rooms and no elevator. So, we had to carry our 4 pieces of luggage and our 2 backpacks up the stairs. Unfortunately, once we got upstairs, we found that the corridor did not go to our room. We had to take all our luggage back downstairs, find the correct stairway, and bring everything back up the stairs again.

By that time it was already after one in the morning, Easter Time Zone, and we were ready for bed. Back home in our Pacific Time Zone it was only a bit after 10 PM, but it had been a long tiring day of travel.
