This is a top pick! ... great! The next day we got up packed up and headed north to Panama Beach (where the temerature was 20 degrees cooler than in Kissimmee!). We are now staying with Bill and Donna (Andrew's parents). The kids have had a swim in the heated pool and I ...
Sunshine State
This is a top pick! So we have arrived in the U S of A now and survived our late night drive from Miami to Kissimmee. We have been getting a lot of homework done and enjoying the warm (but not as hot and humid as Costa Rica) weather. I won't be updating the blog much while ...

Just Hangin' out in Florida!
This is a top pick! Oh what to write? I've been procrastinating in writing something. It's not that I have nothing to say. I've been to the Magic Kingdom, read a book in one night, worked on my website. I have stuff I want to say. But for some reason I'm having a hard time ...
Happy New Year 2008!
This is a top pick! I celebrated New Year's Eve at Epcot. What a better way to ring in the New Year then with a hundred thousand strangers. It was miserable all day. Cloudy with the occasional shower. It looked like it might clear up by mid afternoon so I ...
I'm Going to Disney World!
This is a top pick! I've arrived in Orlando for at least 10 days of touristy stuff with the kids. Yesterday, my day started off with rain and ended up with....SUN! I drove the cross-country route to get to the campground in southeast Orlando. I decided to ...
To the Airport, to the Airport we Go!
This is a top pick! On Saturday I went to the airport to get Nick. Nick text messages me to say they've landed when I'm still parking the truck. Then he sends me another message "Oh NO! It's raining." It's not the "Sunshine State" that we read on Florida's license ...

More....What's up!
This is a top pick! There was suppose to be just one "What's Up" to get me up to date but the last one ended up being longer than I planned. So now you get 2 for the price of 1. The kids gone it's time to get caught up for the rest of the trip. I had ...
Merry Christmas from Mickey & Friends!
This is a top pick! I would like to wish all my faithful (and not so faithful) readers a Very Merry Christmas. Now I have to get back to updating my blog on what's been happening in my travels. Not that I've travelled that much, but I have seen a lot of ...
We Ought to be in Pictures!
This is a top pick! Our first 2 days of touring the Orlando area was at Universal Orlando. Day 1 was at Universal Studios. The theme park opens at 9. We get there at 9h30. Parking $11. The temperature is a little cool. We need a sweater or jacket when the sun is in ...
What's Up!
This is a top pick! Yeah...I know...I haven't finished updating what happened when the kids were here. I will do it sooner or later....I promise. There's 3 days at Disney World and a day at Kennedy Space Center left to document. It gets harder to write stuff a week after ...
Sweet Deal
... the new room. Now, that is customer service. At the activity desk, I got a recommendation for a nearby golf course, Kissimmee Oaks, along with a coupon for a discounted green fee. It was easy finding the course because the Hertz ...
It was Magical!
After such a good day yesterday, Rachael didn't think we would be able to top it today... what a pessimist she is. We did top it, by miles! It was a freaking awesome day! We spent the entire day at The Magic Kingdom in the Walt Disney World Resort!!! It ...
Sea World
Yay, I woke up to the sunniest day I have seen in ages, it was already 20 degrees so it was going to be a great day! Sea World was the order of the day. I do have to admit though, this wasn't my idea, those of you that know me, are aware, or should be ...
Home sweet home

Orlando
Orlando is the theme park capital of the World. You could stay there a month and not go to every theme park! We went to Disney World (3 days) and Universal Studios (2 days). Disney World is just HUGE! We went to Animal ...
Florida
... . We highly recommend this along with the free beers at the bar after! Over looked by most tourists, Historic Downtown Kissimmee has many antiques shops, restaurants and a few old buildings too. Worth a couple of hours browsing. Well worthy of ...
Orlando
I dragged myself away from the pool and went to Kennedy Spacce Centre.... it was still 95 degrees there, but they had a 'rocket garden' the hostel doesn't! Because of the heat, and that the fact that the only other things in Orlando are Disney I ...

We’re Packed for Disney World!
No rain this morning until around noon. Then on and off most of the afternoon. Right now (6-ish), it's raining pretty good. Today was a work day, and we spent it doing laundry, cleaning the RV (a jillion bugs on the front), and packing. Yes, packing, ...
