Big Mack is going back...again!

Well folks it is official, i really do have the Florida bug. Just booked flights for next September to take my family on there third trip.

We were going to holiday in the UK next year to save cash as we have stuff to do in the house etc, etc. However when i started to look around i quickly realised that it was not going to be that much cheaper.

I found that for not a lot more cash you can get to Florida, stay in a beatifull villa, have your very own car for the duration and be gauranteed a good time. So after a little time persuading the wife (Stuff like, "Life is for living..." and "The kids wont be young forever..." blah blah blah.) the plans for our third trip are now well under way.

Only 326 days to go [msnwink]

Mack

Well done Big Mack [clap]
You've really got the Florida bug!!!

That's great news Mack, you can look around but nothing really comes close to Florida in my eyes.
Have great fun planing the next holiday.

And even more trip reports for next year to look forward to for us then[msnwink]

Nice one Mack, you know it makes sense.

Once you have been you will never want to go anywhere else.I keep telling people that I they think I am crazy for going back time and time again.

They just don`t understand!

Keep counting the days they will fly over.

i was like this with my neighbours, they have been going back for about 14 years i think, but always stay in a hotel, i am trying to get them to stay in a villa, i have them browsing the forum now from time to time!! so maybe the time after this next one they may look at a villa!! fingers crossed , we know it makes sense!!![msnwink]

ooh your so lucky.......i am trying to persuade my DH that it would be much for fun to go to florida next year than having a new fence and driveway put it.....don't think i'm winning though!!

I can keep hoping though[msnwink]

I think he needs to get his priorities right Janice.. harrumph!

Great news Mack, you certainly can't beat Florida.[msnsmile2]

There is no place like it. I still get little shivers down my spine when entering the Magic Kingdom.

Brilliant news Big Mack, my sentiments entirely. You can always think of a new excuse when the kids are all grown up.......we did!!!!

Flying out of Glasgow with MyTravel on Friday September 15th for 2 weeks. First time we have gone with a charter, keeping fingers crossed everything will be okay. After flying indirect with Icelandair the last two years i am quite looking forward to a non stop flight, will be my first taste of Sanford Airport also.

Have just spent the last two days glued to my computer checking out villas. I never realised that i was so fussy!!! Mother and Father in law have decided not to join us next year so we just need a 3 bed or else i would have booked the same villa as we had this year because it was first class.

Anyway the hunt goes on [msnsmile2]

Cheers Mack

Hope you find what you are looking for, there are some lovely 3-bed villas on the sites attached to this forum.[msnsmile]

Great news Mack.

Wish I could talk my other half into going again but I think it's a no go!!!!

I still dream every day though![msncry]

I've said in previous posts about my work questioning why I keep going back to the same place and everytime I tell them there is so much to see and do!

I mean we didn't really do as much in October and that was mainly because we aren't massive park people but also because we were a bit worried about mums health.

I'm looking forward to going back next year and I'm really buzzing at the thought of it. We ate at loads of different places that we previously hadn't eaten at and there are so many more to visit [msnwink]

Also we MUST find Boggy Creek Airboats next time around as we got lost looking for them.

did you have to tell all Russ that we couldnt find Boggy Creek Airboats????????
didnt get to do the clearwater boat trip either but they're all on our to do list for next year!!!

ah yeah im gutted we didnt get to do that...so selfish mum! [msnwink]

You couldn't find Boggy Creek Airboats? You must have been asleep! [msnwink]

Go down Poinciana Boulevard until you get to the crossroads with Pleasant Hill Road. Go straight over the traffic lights there (signposted Southport) and continue down that road a couple of miles and it's on the left. Couldn't be easier! :)

we saw signs for them and tried to follow them but the last sign we saw pointed right if i remember correctly and said that they were along there about 3 miles or something like that but we went so far along we never saw them.

we had family traveling in a car behind and they claim they saw them but they didnt think to overtake and let us know so we drove back to the villa all stressed that we had wasted time looking.

When we went to Boggy Creek we too couldn't find it at first.

We drove past it and had to turn back and eventually saw a sign by the entrance, tho' at one point we thought we were going to have to give up and go back to the villa.[msncry]

mel

yes but, there is a sign saying the boggy creek is along poinciana boulevard, but we went out somewhere and decided on the way home to go there, we saw signs saying boggy creek airboat rides so we followed it, the sign said boggy creek 1 1/2 miles, so we drive for at least that and more and i saw a small sign that said boggy creek airboats and fishing farm, it was really small, i thought steve saw it but he didnt, by the time we had driven by it was miles down the road, we ended up i believe down in St Cloud!!!! i know because we went past the roads where the dolls house shop was!!! and that was New York Avenue

men are just so useless!! but dont say i said!![msnwink]

Good excuse to go back though Liesa. The boat trip from Clearwater is great, we did the sunset one and Ray took some great photos.[msnsmile]

i think the next time we will look for a bit longer boat ride because we missed it this year[msnwink]
