Security, Lizards, and The Hulk

Well, our much-anticipated vacation has arrived, and it's been fun so far.... we left for sunny Florida on Saturday morning, just in time, because back home in New England the forecast is rainy for the week! I have not flown for about 14 years, and so much has changed since then. It was heightened security at the airport, so we had to take off our shoes to pass through security, and our luggage was unlocked and searched. We flew without a hitch, though - leaving late but gaining time down and arriving on time anyway. It is in the 80s here and it's been sunny, what a difference, it's like summer here for us!

Florida has some interesting landscape things we don't have at home, I hope to post a pic or two later on - I love the palm trees, and the drippy moss that grows on trees here, and the lizards that are everywhere. The kids have been trying to catch them. Joy did manage to catch just one by the tail and hold it for a minute...

We spent Sunday just relaxing in the pool here at the resort. It was like swimming in bath water, it was so warm when you got out the air was cooler than you were!

Yesterday we hit Universal Studios Orlando, and it was kinda like Disney: expensive, and you just manage to see maybe a third of what's there before it's time to go home. I did manage a ride on the Hulk coaster with Joy, after a 45-minute wait, what a blast! My husband took Natalie on the more tame rides: the Jaws ride, and Storm Blaster, which is just some spinning cup thingies.

Today we'll hit Disney, probably Magic Kingdom. It's almost 9 am and our party of 9 is only about half awake, so it takes some doing getting everyone going.

Hope to post later with some pics and more fun news, just checking in for now. Talk again soon!
