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!

OMG - 3 days to go!!

Well can you believe it we're nearly there!!!

Very happy to get 2.01 on my dollars today $$$

In the excitement of all can I just remind you of a few last minute bits n' pieces:

Remember to bring:
Passport (a photocopy in your luggage is always useful)
Virgin e ticket (mum, dad and Jac C i've got yours)
Disney ticket (again bring a photocopy just in case you lose it ... who us!!!) mum, dad i've got yours
Driving Licencse (for those happy to drive)
US plug adaptor if required

I've spoken to the villa lady and she has let me know that there are hairdryers in every room (it's a girl thing!!), there are pool towels at the villa but they can't be taken to the beach and the best thing is we now have the villa for the day on the Saturday we leave (depart Orlando 19.55) so no stressfull out by 10am with kids screaming and watches to find (in joke for those in the know)!!! There is a PS2 at the villa but not sure if our games will work so sorry Dunc but no Buzz sport!

See you at the airport. Get your comments on here for any last minute chat.....

Here's another link for reviews of Dolly's show!! I know we never actually got to a decision on which show to do. I figure that we'll probably make a decision whilst out there. Penny and I thought maybe it would be nice to do something on our penultimate night (if we've got any money left).....save final night for something a bit more low key and packing :(
