Florida travel

Crack of dawn start and potentially awkward schedule - but all went well. Even our transfer from Heathrow to Gatwick was smooth and quick. We had ample time to enjoy the lounge facilities at Gatwick before heading for our slightly dleayed Virgin flight.

We were in the upstairs section of the plane and the space, food and service were all excellent. They made up most of the time lost on departure and were just 15 mins off schedule in Orlando. There was a huge storm and the roads were awash. Lucy met us (eventually) and we headed back to our accommodation in Kissimmee - except we got lost and it took forever!

Cade was in good form but travelling through the night had thrown Braeden off balance, so we nipped out to TGI Friday's and just got a takeaway and some beer and wine. Off to bed about 10:30 pm Florida time - about 3:30 am in our body clocks!

Up at 6 am this morning - all quiet - Jo got up about an hour later but still no sign of the Lesinas. Weather forecast for the week is pretty bad - storms are normal at this time of year, but not usually until late afternoon. Today the rain is forecast to start about 11 am, so not sure if Disney is such a good idea?

Another quick update

I know, I know - been slipping again! Just haven't had time recently. Golf Wednesday then Friday (Kemnay - football group - won again - 3rd year in a row!) - popped in to Inverurie, then off at the crack of dawn on Saturday to Cornwall. Horrid weather for golf but OK on Monday afternoon when Kelly, Jo and I did our little tours round Mousehole, St Michael's Mount etc then went out for dinner with Craig.

Jo was back at school yesterday tidying up - but that's her finished now - at last, the pain is over! Just preparing now for another very early departure tomorrow to Florida. Spoke to Lucy last night - they're leaving just before midnight their time tonight and will be there well before us tomorrow, so will pick up the hired vehicle - and maybe do some store shopping to stock up our villa?

A couple of quick snaps from last weekend - first Jo and Kelly in front of St Michael's Mount, then Jo and I at Mousehole harbour:
