Nearing the end of our travels...

Well folks, we have safely arrived in Florida. We had a bit of an adventure getting here yesterday...

We were up and on the road at the time we had planned, so we got to PHL with plenty of time to return the car (finally!) and get checked in. Rental car went smoothly - Michelle, the master, managed to turn the car in with only a smidgen of gas left in it, as planned. She was SMART and signed up for the "turn-the-car-in-empty-and-pay-our-price-for-gas" plan when she picked it up. The awesome part of that is that for once, it's cheaper that way! They were charging something silly like $2.50 or something - and gas in the area is still hovering around $3.

Crazy, talkative man in the airport - drove us both insane, but we lived. The plane was FULL of babies travelling to Disney... that was the Loooooooooooooongest short flight I've ever been on!!!

The adventure began at MCO airport in Orlando. We got our bags (mine was damaged!) and headed out to the parking garage to find the car that mom and dad left for us. But... no car. Can't find it anywhere near where mom said they left it. Wandered around for awhile... still no car. Called mom - we're where she remembers putting it - still no car. A nice woman, Etoi, drove me around for 10 minutes looking... still no car. I left Michelle with the bags and went in search of security peoples. Security said they could pick us up in 20 minutes to drive us around... but he recommended just walking over to garage B to look. There's another garage??? Mom said she didn't think there was.... hmmmmmmmm

I found the car in the other garage (note to anyone travelling through MCO - there are two parking garages!) in the exact place mom thought she left it. Much better...

Drove here in the rain... got some groceries... Michelle cooked dinner... watched Monty Python and the Holy Grail and drank a bottle of really sweet red wine (kinda tasted like grape juice with a kick!)...

Bed and now puttering around this morning. We're headed to Disney World soon, but we'll be there until 1am (it's Night of Joy night!) so we are in no hurry....

Love to everyone... look for pictures eventually. (=
