Two weeks in Florida- a year in the planning. Here are our highs and lows.
Travelodge Heathrow- a bit grubby
Meteor meet and greet - excellent
Virgin extra legroom-well worth it
Miami Holiday Inn- excellent
Alamo car-hire - nice car. (still waiting for toll charges on credit card to appear)
Rosen Centre I-Drive- overall a good stay
House booked on Anna Maria Island -NIGHTMARE
Residence Inn by Marriott St. Petersburg-Treasure Island - excellent
HIGHS
Miami - although it was way too hot we enjoyed our stay and at some point will be back.
Spirit of the Swamp tours amazing time
Altamonte mall a Hollister shop on sale -YAY
Chip n Dale camp sing a long much (free) fun
Sweet tomatoes good food
Disney staff As always- brilliant
Manatees and Dolphins seeing these wild creatures swimming up close at Anna maria Island
AND of course using TourGuideMike again for a Queue free time
LOWS
An hour and a half in the immagration line at Miami -why oh why
The car being towed on I-Drive- What an expensive scary nightmare
Bedbugs (yes you read it right) in the house we had been looking forward to for a whole year. Absolutely disgusting. The owners were horrified when it dawned on them that it was BEDBUGS. We got a full refund and booked The Residence Inn at Treasure Island which was excellent
