My Miami adventure is finally nearing its conclusion and if my training schedule holds, I might actually make it home to Germany for my wife's birthday; but only if I bust my but to the airport after my last sim, catch the evening AA flight to ORD, then Jump Seat on our flight to FRA. Would it be uncouth to show up with my roll-aboard, flight case, and a big suitcase? I had to pack for four months, so it is a lot. Also, is the crew van big enough that I might hitch a ride to the hotel where I could then cab it to the train station?

Thanks for any advice or recommendations. If I were to try for a commercial flight from MIA to FRA, I will get home a day after my wife's birthday as my sim is mid-day and the schedules just don't jive.
