Hi y'all

We have returned from DLRP and are finally starting to get stuff put straight so thought I would drop by to say hi.

We had a good time in DLRP, we got to see all the things we wanted (well mainly what Josh wanted). We ate far too much, having a buffet every day is just so much more than we are used to eating, I know you can take as little as you want but I just have to try a little of everything, that everything included snails at Plaza Gardens.

Josh really enjoyed the Buffalo Bill show much more this time, he is that little bit older and with the inclusion of the Disney characters he would have gone every night.

We did have a few incidents that annoyed me and could have spoiled the holiday but just kept calm and did my best to ignore the ignorant people (does that make me ignorant?).

Overall very good experience, shame we had to come back to so much snow on Friday night, there was about 8" of snow on my car at the airport but we quickly got it cleared and managed to manoeuvre (that word doesn't look right) out around other snow bound, wheel spinning cars.

I think this will be the last time we visit DLRP for the forseeable future as Josh is getting that bit older, will endure an 8 hour flight a bit easier and I want to get back to my favourite Disney parks which are in Florida. So the saving has started and hopefully we will get there in 2012.

I will probably post a TR at a later date once I get a chance to sit down and do it and get our photos sorted.

Oh yes, and we met poppyolivia and her family around the hotel, I still don't know her name as never had a chance to really chat.

No where near as bad as last year, the lake in front of NPB wasn't totally frozen like last year but a lot more rides were off this year compared to last. After sitting for the stunt show me and Tracey thought we would never thaw out.

No cancelled flights but Newcastle Airport was really snow bound when we got back. I was supposed to be working Sat/Sun but managed to put some holidays in, so now not back until next week. Oh it was colder last year, -9 (down to -15 with wind chill) one day. We are very hardy here on the North Eat coast, however I am pleased the snow has just about gone now. We have been to Florida many times and the last time we went was 2004 so overdue a return visit, this would be Josh's first of course.

Yes Josh is back at school today too, then we went for coffee with friends, it's a hard life. My shift pattern rocks, lots of down time but next week I get to work 84 hours, I then don't feel so lucky.
