Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Everything went smoothly. My only problem was when we went to find our luggage it was mixed in several places. And I had bought a pixel package that included a 20x24 canvas of one of my pictures. While I was gathering our luggage I laid the canvas on one of the poles there. And I forgot to get it when we left with our luggage. That was the only thing I regret.
