We're HERE!!!

We are in Florida! Woo Hoo! We had a great trip.. no travel issues at all. The plane was ontime and the only thing that seemed to take forever was getting our baggage. We hopped onto the Hertz bus and by the time we got to the lot they had our car pulled up to the drop off for us. We were given a brand new Nissan X-Terra for the week. Seriously... only 1100 miles on it! We got to the resort and checked in and after saying NO THANK YOU about 10 times to go to the "informational breakfast" (really a timeshare sales pitch... 1 1/2 hours? no, try 3 hours. Not going to happen.) we got our keys to our condo and were on our way. The outside of the condos leave alot to be desired but we walked in and WOW. It is incredible! Our until has completely been renovated... granite countertops, tile floor, new carpet... you name it!  Oh... and it's HUGE!!! 2 full bathrooms and JP's bedroom is as big as the master. A great kitchen, dining room and family room... and even a little desk area.  We have our own walk out patio that is right on the golf course too. Oh.. and Wi Fi! Score!

JP had to go swimming as soon as we unpacked so I took him for a bit while Jim hit the grocery store for some staple items. I didn't swim but I never relaxed either because JP insisted on staying in the deep water the whole time and he spends more time under water as on top so yeah... my eyes were glued on him the whole time. Tomorrow will be fun... swimming for all! We'll familiarize ourselves with the whole resort and check out Splash Lagoon and River Island and see if we should swim there or stick with the pools that are closest to us. This place is like a small village... so glad we have a car!!!

We think we'll hit Seaworld on Monday since tomorrow it'll probably be busier as it's the weekend. Then we'll take Tuesday off for more pool time, Magic Kingdom on Wed, more pool time on Thurs and then Seaworld again on Friday. That's the plan but we'll see!!! It's supposed to be in the upper 70's and low 80's all week so we're set!!!

I'll post pics next time... when I have some to share!
