Got back today

[MorningGlory]

Well, a fantastic 18 days has been and gone all too quick. We had a great time

Seen and done some pretty cool things both in St Petes and Orlando, a small part of which was...

Seeing the Rays beating the Red Sox 13-0.....seeing Evan Longoria (the Rays young star) hitting a Grand Slam in game 2 against the Sox.

Seeing a lot of the Florida West coast

Watching our first ever shuttle launch

In the parks:

Visiting Epcot twice, and racking up many rides on TT

Breakfast at Chef Mickeys was excellent once again

Riding Hulk with junior.....TWICE! What an amazing coaster!

We've had a blast and could have stayed longer, but i'm glad to be home at the same time. Celebrated a decent journey home tonight with a Scottish breakfast for dinner If only they had square sausage and potato scones in the US

Glad you have had a great time. Where did you go to see the shuttle launch?

 

[Gaynor]

Welcome home sounds like you've had a fab trip.
I'm sure you'll enjoy re-living it when you do your trip report

 

[Shazzie B]

Welcome home, glad you had such a great time.

The thing I always crave when I get home is a bacon sandwich!

 

[MorningGlory]

We found a parking spot at the side of US Highway 1, just south of Titusville. Never cost anything and we had a good view of the launch. Unfortunately, my camera decided to stop functioning 10 mins before the launch

The only dampener on the trip, but still we can say we seen it

Welcome home Paul
Shame about the camera but its a great experience isn't it? Maybe better without camera, half my time was taken up taking pics.

I have no idea what this means "Seeing the Rays beating the Red Sox 13-0.....seeing Evan Longoria (the Rays young star) hitting a Grand Slam in game 2 against the Sox." but it sounds like you enjoyed it. Ok just Google Red Sox, baseball, sorry wouldn't have a clue, don't understand any American sport.

Welcome back sounds like you had a great time,we love the hulk too it is an amazing coaster.
Were they doin any test runs on rip ride rock it while you were there? I can't wait to go on that in November.

 

[Cyrano]

Sounds like you had a great trip
Welcome home

 

[Netty]

Welcome home Paul, glad you had a great time- so when you going back then??

 

[MorningGlory]

Thanks everyone

bombhead: No, we didn't see any test runs. I read something in the Universal forum about July 3rd, didn't pay it anyt attention tho so don't know if that's the official opening date.

Netty, not sure but sometime soon I hope. Maybe next year, if not it will be 2011, probably around Easter time. I prefer the cooler weather at that time of year, although it was scorching when we were there, usually around 90-95!

Hi Paul - glad you had a great trip. I'm sure the baseball would have been ace. Hope to hear lots more about the trip in due course....

Seeing the Rays beating the Red Sox 13-0.....seeing Evan Longoria (the Rays young star) hitting a Grand Slam in game 2 against the Sox.

we're looking at taking in a Rays game - can you give advice as to if it would be real boring for a 5 and 6 year old, and where you got your tickets and if they were good seats etc ...

thanks

 

[Pegasus928]

Welcome back.
I am so jealous you got to see a shuttle launch as that is the one thing in Florida that we would love to experience. Shame about your camera though.

 

[wicket2005]

So pleased you had a fantastic time now on to the trip report please.

Hey, Paul. Whereabouts in Glasgow are you from? I'm just back today - got home a few hours ago. I went to watch the shuttle launch from Cocoa Beach - it was amazing. Where were you staying?
