Going With The Flow - Day 13 - 2nd August 2009 - The DIS Discussion Forums

wicket2005 · 08-02-2009, 07:20 AM

Both me and Ian woke up early this morning, rough plans made yesterday were to sleep in and stay onsite today but I am going to check with the lads now to see if this is still the case, seeing as I am awake. Ian snoozing again.

Have a good day wherever you end up

wicket2005 · 08-02-2009, 08:06 AM

The plans are to stay onsite today. Just had a lovely talk to my Mam and Dad seeing as we had a bit of time today.

Pinky166 · 08-02-2009, 08:43 AM

The good thing Nat is that when you are on holiday the days seem a lot longer than when you are at home and the days just whizz by.

We have just been in Universal and had a fun time doing The Mummy, Jaws (I love people watching on this ride for the newbies), Men in Black a couple of times, The Simpsons, Terminator and ET.

We called in Margaritavillle (doesnt look right but I know you know where I mean) and had a lovely meal courtesy of Virgin. Me and Gaz chose the pulled pork sandwich as I know from the trip reports people have recommended it and it was delicious. We did have a slightly strange American woman sitting behind us who was just starring at us the whole time or at the food. I felt like saying it is rude to stare but it was funny at the same time as Craig was mimicking her. Anyway a lovely place to eat.

Now getting ready to go back into Islands in our wet gear. I have just dug all the cases out and whacked my clothes away, packing always gets me stressed but as the things I have bought are small there is a bit more space for the clothes the menfolk have bought. My stuff is in so they can fight it out for the space.

Anyway off to get changed now. Cya later.

buzz for boys · 08-02-2009, 03:53 PM

Cant believe its time to pack already

Hope the emn folk have been left enough room !!!
Have fun at islamds say Hi to spidey for me

Pinky166 · 08-02-2009, 04:51 PM

Hope your having a good time at IOA.

Can't believe it's time for you to pack already.

suzycute · 08-02-2009, 06:16 PM

Can't believe you're packing already - doesn't seem a minute since you started posting your live trip reports! I've really enjoyed reading them - many thanks!

wicket2005 · 08-02-2009, 07:04 PM

I always think the sign of a good holiday is one you don't want to end and that is exactly what we feel. It is easier because we have been booked up since May to return to the Hard Rock in June so it doesn't feel as bad leaving. Also both me and Ian may return by ourselves (which will be very strange) if both lads are away at Uni before then but I don't know how I will be if the lads are not with us as I would miss them.

Anyway we have just had great fun in Islands. We went on the Hulk first which was a bit of a miscalculation as they did 2 car changes and had to check them before we could go on so ended up waiting quite a while. Love the ride though. We then went on Dr Doom and again sat in the left tower, seat set 4 and absolutely flew out of the seats more so than on the other seats strange but scary.

We then went on Popeyeś Bilge Boat Rapids which was the main reason for going into this park for a cool down instead of going down to the pool. This ride is so funny and we quite enjoy people watching especially the newbies. It always amazes me that people wear denim jeans in the Florida heat then go on a soaking wet water ride. We did a record 10 rides one after the other, and had a great laugh, once you are wet you cannot get any wetter.

i would have stayed on for longer but the menfolk chickened out.

We left the park steadily getting warmer as our wet clothes dried out. Now back in the room, Ian is packed, Gary has his all arranged on his bed to spread out between 3 cases, it also means he has to pack before he can go to bed. I would imagine Craig will just bung his clothes in.

Just noticed Ian has left the golf channel on and left it on as he has gone to the lads room. Nightmare. I think we are off back out in a minute.

Pinky166 · 08-03-2009, 01:55 AM

10 times!!!

As you say at least you have another trip booked to look forward to. Is your flight today?

mandymouse · 08-03-2009, 02:44 AM

Are you heading home today ? I'm going to miss your updates each morning. Wow 10 times on Popeye's barges, you must've been soaked through

Are you off to a park this morning ?

irongirlof12 · 08-03-2009, 03:03 AM

fab day, can't believe it is nearly over

cannp123165 · 08-03-2009, 04:43 AM
