Sunrise Departure from MCO

After a whirlwind trip to Florida, it was time to head home. As I've said before, I always love flying early in the day; you get ahead of the potential for cascading delays and the journey feels much smoother. The reward for that early alarm clock is often a beautiful, quiet moment before the chaos of travel begins.

The pre-dawn glow at Orlando International (MCO).
The quietest moment of the day at any airport.

This morning at Orlando International Airport was a perfect example. Watching the sky slowly ignite and the sun break through the silhouettes of the cypress trees was a stunning final gift from Florida. It's the best way to end an adventure.

A final, fiery Florida sunrise to see us off.
A beautiful end to a whirlwind trip.

And there it is... the sun makes its appearance over the treeline as we taxi.

Wherever you are today, may all roads lead you home.
