Fri. June 12, 2020 - Mon. June 15, 2020 After being under very strict quarantine a few states began opening up. We were so ready to start traveling, and were looking to be as careful as possible. Spirit Airlines once again came through with a great deal, and off we were on our first adventure after living history - no planes in the sky for a few months.  Funny fact about Spirit Airlines, and really probably most budget carriers. Their luggage weight limit is 40 lbs. (18 Kg) instead of 50 lbs. (22 Kg). We were sharing a suitcase to cut down cost and had to scramble as we were about 4 lbs. over. UGH! Makeup bag, hair straightener and shoes immediately went into our personal bags.
