I reached Orlando airport after what felt like the shortest flight l had ever been on and was greeted my Bootsey and found Buddy in the typical large trucks that everyone seems to drive down in Florida. We drove to their lovely new house where l was greeted by lots of kisses (licks actually) from Buster- their one year old puppy. We stayed up talking and catching up on the last three years before heading to bed and a lovely sleep in the next morning- where l was greeted by waffles! Got to love staying with friends and not a hostel....especially when they cook as good as Bootsey! Danny and Cheryl (Buddys parents) came and said a big Howdy to as yall that morning and l spent the rest of the afternoon catching up on all the computer and travel work l needed to do as well as must needed laundry
Anna Tay, Buddy, Me, Bootsey and David @ Universal
. I then spent the rest of the afternoon hanging out and getting my daily exercise playing the Wee tennis, golf and bowling. David then came over and we caught up over eggplant parmigiana and mountain Dew before heading off to Universal Studios. I haven't eaten as much as l have in the last two days for a VERY long time- but it gave me the must needed energy for the fun night ahead where Anna Taylor joined us (Buddys sister) at Rock The Universe a Christian music concert held at Universal Studios. We spent the night head jamming and moshing in the rain at times with rockin Skillet, then riding the Shrek 3D ride where we were sneezed on by the Dragon numerous times and got even more wet before heading off to see Jeremy Camp play! It was a fantastic night and exactly what l needed! I loved both the artists we saw...you cant get much different though! The following morning l went to Faith (David and B&Bs church) to see Davids Human Video presentation which was fantastic and inspiring....closest thing l can use to describe it is like the Rock Eisteddfod in Australia....kind of interpretive dance. We then went out for lunch surrounded by Football screaming fans before l said my goodbyes after what felt like only just saying hello! It was a wonderful couple of days spent in Orlando catching up with great old friends and Rockin the Universe!
