We're here.....#2

The story so far..............
En route to Orlando

We’re Here!
In America at last
Loved Sandford airport, so easy to get in and out of. Collected the keys for our car and I thought “Hey up…it’s a bit chilly here!” It was only 7pm local time and I expected extreme heat! Found our car, a navy Dodge sport, very nice. Off we set for I Drive.
“Don’t use I4” they said
“It’ll be to busy” they said……..
Fifteen minutes later we’re cruising along I4 We didn’t mean to ignore their advice, it just happened that way. Anyway, traffic was fine, found our Hotel no problem. Checked into Summerfield suites , very posh I might add,. We got a ground floor apartment, as requested, so we go and find room 127. First impressions, LUVLY JUBLY! We only had the Parc Corniche for comparison and it was more up to date than that, if a little smaller. It managed to get smaller as the holiday progressed I’m not the tidiest of people and that doesn’t alter on holiday!
We unpacked a few bits and I suggested MacDonalds for supper, sad I know, but Marc was starving, he hardly ate on the plane, and I knew he’d love to go there, so we went to the one on the corner of Sandlake. It’s fabulous taking that first leisurely cruise along International Drive, we really felt like we’d come home.
It was actually very nice food at MacD’s. The kid’s love squirting their own sauce, and re-filling their drinks.
Back to the hotel and straight to bed, it was 3.45am in England, and we were struggling to stay awake.
I didn’t think much to our bed, it was only a double, we have a kingsize at home, and it was a kingsize on our last trip, but not this time. When I say it was like sleeping on cloud 9 that is not supposed to be a compliment to Tony Soft or what! It was the Hippo and the Duckling effect…… Ahem…I WAS THE DUCKLING
Tony was awake for hours trying to suss the Air con, he was baking, sorted it eventually.
Next, I’ll tell you about our first proper day……… and Jordans excitement at finding Vans skatepark (this was the be all & end all of his trip!)
Join me, same time, same place…..next week

Sounds like a good start! Can't wait to read the rest...I love Brittish trip reports! I guess I love them all though.

I know just what you mean Sam - I hate soft beds, I'm always the duckling too!

So when's the serious business start - when's WDW? I can't wait to hear where you went first!

I forgot to warn you Sam, I'm one of those nosy/ignorant Yanks that wants definitions (like "carvery" from rpt#1) & JUBLY! LOL

It's a great perc that you're putting links to your other reports!

Keep up the great reports!
