Hello from the Hilton . We are now chilling, watching TV with a bottle of wine. We dropped the car off with Gatwick valet parking, very easy and convenient. Twilight check-in was also very quick and we got the seats we had pre-booked online, result . We had a lovely, if a little expensive tea at Franky and Bennies, followed by some cocktails in the Hilton bar. Hopefully we will get an earlish night as we have a long day ahead tomorrow, I cant believe in 24 hours we will finally be there

Oh, Ariel. I'm so jealous!!. And I'm so happy to see that you may be posting live. Do try to keep us up on it just a little. Save the big stuff for the report, of course. But otherwise, don't give us a second thought. Just enjoy!!

Thanks, I'm just glad I've had time too .
I was hoping to check in a few times but looking at our hectic itinerary I don't think it will be that often. And don't worry all the good stuff will be saved, although hopefully I will be able to give you all a sneak preview

OOOO Ariel!!! I am thinking that you might be here on this side of the Atlantic! And that would mean that you just might be settled in?? It was great to read your "on the way" posts... have a wonderful time! I am sooooo jealous!

Hope you're having a GREAT time!!!!!!!!!

Hey guys, well were here and having a great time so far.
The flight was good, unfortunately immigration took forever. We then had to wait in a queue for 90 minutes to get our hire car, only to find out that they had no Mustang convertables... luckily they upgraded us to a normal one so Nick was more than happy. Oh and then we were greeted with rain

The villa is very nice although the pool heating isn't working at the moment and its just too cold without it. The weather started a little grim, it was dull yesterday morning but the afternoon and today have been really warm and sunny.

The first night we changed our plans and went to Chili's as its just down the road. The food was really good, the cocktails were even better .

Yesterday we went to Seaworld and it was really quiet. We managed to do everything we wanted with no queue, although the shows filled up over 30 minutes beforehand. We had lunch at Sharks Underwater Grill which was really good, a great table and amazing food.
In the afternoon we went to the Mall at Millenia and I emerged holding a little blue box with a white ribbon....oh and some Oakleys and more make-up . Tea was at the cheesecake factory and again was really good, although we had to take the cheesecake to go and still haven't fitted it in yet. We missed IHOP too as we didn't think we would be able to fit in all that food.

Today we have been to Busch Gardens and it has been great. It was so quiet we didn't queue at all, not even for 1 minute. We got all the rides we wanted to do done by 12, it was so nice doing everything at a relaxed pace without having to worry about the queues.
We had lunch at the Crown Colony which was really good, and great value.
Were now chilling out at the villa before heading to Texas De Brazil for tea.

Tomorrow we have Golden Corral for breakfast and then the Shark Dive and Makahiki Luau at Seaworld... wish us luck

Oh and we have managed to fit in Walmart and Starbuck's twice already

Hope everyone is ok, hopefully I will get chance to check in again in the next few days.
Bye for now

 

[retiredkid]

What a fabulous time you are having!!! Just great without any queues.

And the food sounds great. I'm in for the long run here, so whenever you get a chance in your busy schedule, I'll be ready for your posts. I think you should go into business as a Travel Agent.

 

[disneydusted]

Well how fun was this??! Finding your post from Florida already! I'm glad your lines weren't long and you could get right onto rides. Hopefully your pool heater will get fixed so you can enjoy it.
Don't you love flying into Florida and getting greeted by the beautiful palm trees? I don't know why they get me grinning when I am there... maybe because we can't grow them here??
Glad to hear you have your mustang! Not the convertible but still a mustang! Quite American! You'll look like a local!
I'll be checking in...... enjoy it down there!!
