A few things

[Miffy2003]

Hi Johnny,

I am so sorry to hear that your trip was not all you hoped for though it sounds like you had a great time despite that

I hope Josh is all settled down again now you are all home; it must have been tough for you and Julie especially after Josh was unwell on the plane.

Take care,

Karen

Hi Ali - thanks for the info.
We did have a full tour of SSR and really liked it there, lots to do, great room & pools plus the advantage of being able to park fairly close to the room and DTD a walk away.
To be honest for me and Julie it's a great option, the only problems are Joshua a private villa is perfect for him, private pool, secluded, no worries about the neighbours when he gets up at 5am every morning, VCR/DVD available (I know you get a DVD at SSR)...but less so for us (well me - especially the evenings). Having said that a 5 or 7 night stay should be a decent compromise.

A split stay between SSR/ a beach resort and maybe 7 nights in a villa seems perfect - we have to get away from Orlando for part of the holiday as I really don't think we will visit the parks much at all.

I appreciate the info and I really think SSR would be a great place to stay, just need to think on it for a while really, I guess all that I say here is irrelevant at the moment as unfortunatley as I said earlier Joshua really didn't cope with the long flight this year so I am really not sure what the future holds at the moment for Florida holidays. It has scarred us I am afraid.

totally understand, its not easy, try not to think too far ahead. last year was horrendous for us re David what with the flight and other things but we this year was better. next year will have a whole set more of different issues and worries e.g. if they don't allow the wheelchair cushion on that will be the end of our florida trips. one day at a time

Driving, standards getting worse I am afraid - never seen so many idiots, on the last day a lady driver in the middle lane nearly crashed into me, fortunatley I was alert enough - she was driving whilst filiming with a Camcorder! also saw someone else on the phone (left hand) feeding baby with a bottle (right hand), whilst driving too....it is easier driving out there as we all know, but frequently found cars pulling out in front of me and the road-friendliness is dissapearing fast.

Wow, and there was I moaning about all the crazy Italian drivers we encountered in Italy ....!

I think there are bad drivers everywhere to be fair, fortunatley you do not get too many in 'white vans' in Orlando!
