Yes it's me again. I don't know where I go wrong, but my travel plans are always jinxed!!!:confused: :confused:
Sadly I won't have time for a full blown trip report, so here are the highlights/lowlights.
Flew Northwest. Outward brilliant. Return a nightmare. Checked in to Tampa Sat am and after a saga of cancelled, oversold, and delayed flights due to technical difficulties after flying to Atlanta and Minnesota we eventually landed Mon afternoon at Gatwick. However the car was at Heathrow so it meant a further wait while Roger took the link to fetch the car. Oh and all our luggage had been sent on ahead of us by BA even though they had refused our transfer arranged by Northwest, so for 3 days we only had the clothes that we stood up in!!!!! So much for increased security!!!
However the trip itself was fantastic.
Didn't have one bad meal.
Ate at Lone Star Steakhouse, Planet Hollywood, Ohanas, Dragon Court, Liberty Tree Tavern, and Olive Garden.
Saw The Hoop De Doo Revue which was very funny.
Watched some amazing improvisation at The Comedy Club at PI.
Saw the New Year in at Epcot with incredible fireworks even though we were soaking wet. LOL
Of course we caught up with Simon who had treated us to the largest array of Disney Xmas presents on record (ah bless him )and
the weather on the whole was absolutely beautiful.
Sorry that's it, but if anyone has any questions I'll gladly answer them Carolyn
 
Glad to have you back Carolyn, and happy to hear the majority of the trip was as you would have hoped.

Shame about the return, but you'll have been sad anyway so at least it didn't spoil yer day(s) ;)
 
What a nightmare of a journey home Carolyn - bet you were so pleased when you finally got inside your front door! Are you able to get any money back on your insurance for all the inconvenience etc?

Glad to read that the rest of the holiday was a success and it must have been lovely to spend time with Simon and also to catch some sun (could you not have brought any home with you!! ;) )

Did Simon have much time off to spend with you?
