Quite probably it's the EIP since it worked ok before I added it. On the 
documentation page for
the ansible ec2-eip module, it says:

"There may be a delay between the time the Elastic IP is assigned and when 
the cloud instance is reachable via the new address. Use wait_for and pause 
to delay further playbook execution until the instance is reachable, if 
necessary."

However, there is no example provided for how to do this with the ec2-eip 
module.
So, I'm wondering how to specifically wait for an EIP to be "ready". 
It seems to me that this should work for both the elastic ip and port 22, 
but it doesn't even though it executes without error:
- name: wait for instances to listen on port:22      
  wait_for: timeout=480 state=started host={{ my_elastic_ip }} port=22
