Off on my hols on tues morning
« on: 02 November 2008, 20:36:29 »

34.5 hours till i set off for FLORIDA woohoo.
its been a looooooong 12 months sice we booked it last november and now my kiddleywinks are getting exited, oh sod that! I AM GETTING EXITED  ;D :D :D ;D
i Never been on a plane before, we are flying with virgin economy, every one i speak to who has been with virgin say they are good to fly with, we staying at the quality inn on international drive. ooh ooh there is also a space shuttle launch on the 14 th nov, so hoping to see that, should be good. was gonna get a cab to manchester airport BUT, cheapest quote for 5 was £107 return, but got a cheap deal to park the car for £48, so we going in the Mig.
apart from the usual attractions, any recommendations where we may like to go.
we are hiring a car for a few days in the second week. as we dont want to spend every waking min in the theme parks, would like to go to miami, gulf coast etc.

I can recommend a couple of god eateries for when your out of the theme parks... For breakfast look for an IHOPS (international house of pancakes) 12 stack with maple and a side of bacon and all the coffee you can drink costs about £3. Then for an evening meal look for a Denny's, 16oz steak with all the trimmings for under a fiver :y

I love Denny's, practically lived in there when I was over there. I've never did the theme parks though as I was there on my own.

My idea of heaven! Florida and Ian Anderson (I type that sitting here with my broadsword tour t-shirt on) :y

EDIT: As an addition, SWMBO got me into Tull shortly after we met, seen them loads since and even inspired me to learn the flute :D

Which quality are staying at? I stayed at the quality inn oppo wonderworks...i`d reccomend that you go for brekkie at ponderosa $3.99 each all you can eat buffet and try the olive garden italian restaurant for an evenin meal with the never ending pasta bowl Mmmmm :) if you have not got your disney or universal tickets shop around an take a look at the wallmart the other side of I4 they are quite cheap for the tickets and dont order pizza from the flyers that get pushed under your door!!! they are mostly ripoff merchants who just want your c/card details or frozen pizza from a cash and carry  :o enjoy yaselves guys... :y :y

Blackpool!! PHAH, too expensive for me, it costs a tenner just to watch your kids are safe on the pleasure beach, costs a fiver simply to walk thru the place.
