Flying home we flew out of Mobile Regional Airport. Maybe the smallest and most empty airport I have ever been to. However, it had a very slow security line, the TSA agents were very nice and chatty with everyone it was kind of hilarious. Southern Hospitality I guess.
We rode a ferry from where we were at the beach to the mainland, that was really fun. It was kind where you drive your car right onto the ferry and then you can get out and look around.
We had a lay over in Memphis that was only supposed to be an hour but ended up lasting all night. We had all boarded the plane, where after a short delay (maybe 30 minutes) they informed us that we couldn't take off because of some electrical problems. Then they let us all off of the plane. At this point I knew we weren't going to make it back to Philly that night, they never let you all off the plane.
We flew on Delta, so they gave us a hotel room for the night and some food vouchers so we weren't really complaining. Just one more night of vacation. By the time we got back to the hotel though it was about 9:30 and I was tired so we didn't take a cab into downtown (20 minutes from the airport) to explore. It seemed like 10:00 wasn't really a prime sightseeing time.
So I guess I can say I have been to Memphis because we left the airport, but not really. Hopefully I didn't miss anything too awesome.
