Mr. LiteBrite and I just got back from a trip celebrating 25 years of happy marriage. 
The good news is that we had a luverly time and some great meals which Ill be happy to tell you all about. The bad news is that we really sucked at remembering to take photos of our food. Ill include the pictures we did take, but there will be several meal descriptions without any photographic evidence to back them up. I hope you can find it in your hearts to forgive us. 
Some background info hubby and I are fairly recent empty nesters (our only child is at college and was taking finals to finish up her junior year while we were on this trip). We have also fairly recently started changing our eating habits to become something like vegetarians. I have a feeling we may become the real thing before its all said and done, but were not quite there yet. When were at home, we actually eat mostly vegan. I havent cooked any meat at home in about 5 months, and we limit our dairy products as well. When were out to eat we give ourselves a little more leeway, but if we order fish or chicken we usually split one portion between the two of us, and I cant remember the last time we had red meat.
So, we decided that while we were on our trip, we would eat a little fish, chicken, eggs or dairy here or there if we felt like it, and just see how it went. To make things more complicated, we also try hard to avoid white flour, and since hubby is diabetic, we try to limit our sugar intake as well. Stay tuned to see how closely we stuck to the plan (hint we were on vacation
).
We were staying in a lovely timeshare/condo offsite this time (Marriott Grande Vista on the south end of International Drive), and we made breakfast there every morning, along with dinners a couple of nights. We had a few table service meals planned that we ended up canceling at the last minute because we just didnt feel like it when the time came. We also scored a couple of last minute ADRs when we changed our minds. All of our table service meals were lunches with the sole exception of a dinner at Raglan Road.

before our conference began the next day. This was the last night that 2 shows in one evening were scheduled during our trip, and I wanted to go to the late show in hopes of seeing it when it wasnt too crowded.

and thanks!
