... was interesting to see christmas decorations on lampposts as we walked along in 80 degree temperatures.<br><br>after a salad lunch we went into the hotel pool and chilled and relaxed looking at the little lizards running around.<br><br>we also discovered that some idiot has forgot to pack the memory card reader - so no pictures from the cameras until i buy one (doh).<br><br>apparently we are near to the world largest gift shop (see picture), the use the doors to get a sense of scale

... them.<br><br>arrived in Orlando at approx 16:20. by the time we had the car it was dark, so after being awake for hours had to relearn how to drive on freeways in the dark... it was a bit scary.<br><br>arrived at the best western and am quite pleased with the hotel it has excellent swimming pools and hot tubs - so we hit those before going to bed.<br><br>we''re back.....<br>

... the windows were limited, they were very fine -- one from the Mellon home in Philadelphia in particular. Also enjoyed the several iridescent vases they had. <br><br>We had dinner at a Thai restaurant along Park Avenue -- quite tasty, and a very nice presentation. <br><br>Then, back to the hotel, to bed.<br>

... 8217;s Space Ranger Spin was a fun laser gun ride, although the scorekeeping was kind of screwy. We&#8217;re not sure what happened there. And the Astral Orbit was very cool, if short, although as Jessica mentioned her and Dan should have taken individual rockets. Finally we got to our supper reservation at Cinderella&#8217;s Royal Table in the castle, which was again a wonderful meal. This time we were allowed to get appetizers on our dining ...

The destination of our flight was Sanford Airport, just north of Orlando, which on first sight is probably similar in size places like Leeds/Bradford. It is obvious that this is not an airport ...

... choreography, colourful costumes and of course all brought together by our friends from the ocean. Not to be missed. The other show we loved, was Shamu the Orca Whale. Seeing these massive creatures hurl themselves out of the water was an amazing sight, and it was all based around dreams, and making your dreams come true. We were shown a movie depicting a young boy, who had a dream to work with Whales and had a carving of a whale ...

... labeled a "Volcano Roll" it should resemble something that of a volcano. I'm sorry. I decided to go against local fare and ordered something we didn't have in LA and ordered the "Japanese Breakfast" roll which consisted of cream cheese and smoked salmon on the inside with smoked salmon and maple syrup on the outside. It was different. I liked it because of the fact that it was different. Because we didn't have it out in LA, I enjoyed that part of it ...

... around Tomorrowland. We wanted to finish going on the rides in Fantasyland so we headed back over there.  We did a lot of walking back and forth today, but we avoided major lines so it wasn't bad.  We went right over to The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh which had a twenty-five minute wait.  It seemed a lot shorter, though, and we were in our honey pot before we knew it.  Mike and I sat in the front of the car with mom and dad behind ...
