DEANTOURS IS BACK!

It may have been almost 2 years, but Deantours is back!

For veterans of the November 07 Florida trip, if you cast your mind back....over a muffin or five in Bob Evans (probably) we did say how great it would be to do it all over again in a couple of years. Well we have tentative DATES and a PLAN!

When? February 12th, 2011 - 14 nights
Location? Orlando, USA

The plan would be that with all the kids that bit older (Yes Duncan, that includes you), our return would be to do Universal (Islands of Adventure/Universal Studios and Wet 'n' Wild); Busch Gardens; Discovery Cove and Seaworld/Aquatica. And then on the second day.....joke. Accommodation would once again be somewhere in the Kissimee area in a big swanky villa.


What now? At this stage we are just trying to gage interest with a view to getting a villa booking made before Xmas 09 and deposit paid.

We are aware that we may be competing with all sorts of elaborate 40th birthday plans. It is not a cheap holiday, and quite frankly is not everyone's cup of tea. For those that missed Deantours 07, feel free to have a browse down the blog and you will get a bit of a flavour.

SO FINALLY......The Hawaiian shirt is clean & pressed, Mark is chomping at the bit on the T-Shirt front, Mickey Big Ears is back on line. All Deantours needs now is some customers for the class of 2011. Let us know.

S&P

THANKS AND ALL THAT.....!

Well today we are home and adjusting to having the thermals on and heating full blast.
It's depressing :(:(

On behalf of Penny, myself and the boys thanks for helping to make Deantours Florida 2007 such a success.

Here's a couple of posts that we've had.............

Beer with Mr Glass at 4 helped!! Thanks 4 wonderful time everyone and very sad that not there anymore :-(

FINAL DAY IN USA

We decided to throw ourselves in head first (well ears actually) on our last day!
Funny thing being that the shirts hardly got a second glance, which says something about the Americans taste in clothes!!



Home tommorow :(:(

OMG!

OMG...the american footie was awesome. I think we all enjoyed it far more than we thought we were going to. Top tip for anybody planning to come to Florida. Go see UCF (University of Central Florida) rather than the bigger NFL Tampa Bay, only one quarter of the price and all the same atmosphere, frills and spills - 41,000 there the day we went!! - they won

Saturday 24th

Monday 26th

Above pictured you can see Elliot and Grandma looking out to the launchpad at kennedy Space Centre. There is a space shuttle launch on December 6th and so the orbitor was actually in place - and who says this trip isn't educational!

Next pic is Jackie KILEY riding the surf on Cocoa Beach. Den we found the best beach side bar where we had outside eats to live music, we all agreed you would have loved it. Here are the 2 Grandma's swinging along to the music in that bar......

And FINALLY, yesterday we were back in the Disney parks again. MGM studios this time which I think all the adults agreed was their favourite.

Elliot and Lewis outside the StarTours (Star Wars) ride....

HAVING A NICE DAY!

ABOVE. At Animal Kingdom with Mickey ABOVE. Our Hawaiin night


Having a great time. Weather has been glorious, up to about 80 degrees each day. Today we are off to see the UCF Knights play at American Football so are readying ourselves for a vast intake of hot dogs and coke. On the downside, Elliot has had to make a trip to the doctor today since he has an ear infection and so has to stay out of the pool for a few days. More later.

COMING TO AMERICA

Finally arrived. Safely

Having an absolute blast so far. Have hit 'the wall' after 3 days of hard disney'ing (Animal Kingdom, Epcot and Magical Kingdom) and so today have had more of a relaxing day by our pool - inset pic. Managed to sneak out to the Fawlty Towers Tavern to watch England lose to Croatia this afternoon :(:(

Weather a steady and gorgeous 76-80 degrees each day so far. w2wbs

Hope everybody is well. Look out for more posts. SPELLRJDMDJJJW

BAR SET HIGH ON SHIRT FRONT!

My dad has set a very high standard on the 'bad' shirt front for our Hawaiian night - beat that beauty!
