    Ravtinos final part!

    Face very sore today and stitches uncomfortable – Thanks for good wishes.


    <span style="color:red">Day 19</span id="red">

    Now today I had arranged to pick someone I work with up and her hubbie and 2 girls, they had arrived on the Thursday and were staying at Disney’s All-stars, it was there first time in Florida, so at 10 I set off for a 10.30 pick up at Team Sport in Downtown Disney, my niece Lydia went with my as navigator!![msnwink] Well they were there so off we went back to villa – kids straight in pool, we grown ups sat and chatted[chatter] – about there trip over and what they had been doing; I then took Debbie and Steve up to Publix to get supplies, this was there first taste of a US supermarket!![msnsmile2] Then in was into Subway and been Sunday they had there offer of any 2 foot longs for $8.99,[:P][:P] so that’s what we all had!!! Back to villa to eat and more chatting![chatter] After lunch I took Debbie and Steve to look at the model homes at Bella Lago (I think you can guess I like these homes) well they liked them too, then I took Steve to Walgreen’s to empty his digital card onto a CD (quite good value) back to villa where everyone showered and changed, then they wanted to go to Golden Coral as someone besides me had told them about it, so we went to the one on the 192, then after they had filled up it was 9 and time to take them back to Downtown Disney where we said our goodbyes at the bus (the youngest fell asleep in the car and didn’t wake up till the following morning!!!)[zzz][zzz]
    Well ours wanted to look in Downtown(well Adam in Lego really) Lydia more pin trading! Then it was back to villa and to bed around 11.45[zzz]


    Day 20

    Easy morning as kids were tired, near lunchtime we went up to 192 where I had my 3 disposable cameras developed 5x7 in an hour ( I can never understand how 4x6 can be the standard size here – you would think with them been supersize kings they would be bigger than the UKs) went for a subway while waiting, went back to pick them up - oh they were good (have to wait till I get my new computer to put picies on!)
    By 2 we were off to Universal – Men in Black, Back to the Future (Adam and me twice) had a stroll round then onto Shreek 4D out and a quick word with Donkey!![msncool]
    Then we went back to villa it was now 8.35 so I did a little packing as the days were drawing nearer for the inevitable!! Got Adam and Lydia to pack the Lego away (I had bought some of e-bay in US before we went and had it sent to the MC to then deliver it to villa) All in bed by 10.


    Day 21

    Off to Typhoon Lagoon, we had arranged to meet the family from Sunday at 9.45, as we arrived at 9.30 I left Bob waiting for them and we went in to get Lockers etc, then we all met up and away to sunbeds by kiddie’s slide, straight into water for the waves – where machine had a hiccup and wasn’t working!!! So off to family raft and then to Lazy river, back to Lagoon and waves now working so in we all went (some closer than others)
    Finally ate and then we decided to do single rafts- Mayday Falls – now Lydia and Steve went on this, Lydia said Adam would be OK so I went on too (we had to think of his arm) couple of goes on here then off to Storm Slides, Lydia and Steve tried these out, Adam was desperate to go on but we had our doubts!![msnscared][msnscared] So I went up too, I told him to keep his arms folded and to remember not to put his right arm out (Bob was having eggs)[msnwink] well after this there was no stopping him and he was off back up as fast as his little legs would carry him!!! And again and again and again! Managed to get him off and back to the family raft then back on Mayday Falls and Lydia went on Keelhaul Falls but I said no to Adam on this, so he went back on Mayday Falls, then back to Storm Slides as these were now quite they went up quite a few times, Steve came over to join us and I told him that the Humunga Kauabunga was quite, so off he went – twice – no I did not do this one! Adam stayed on the Storm Slides!! Now you will notice that I haven’t mentioned bob muc

    Jacqueline,
    Thanks for the great reports, myself and Marianne can't wait till we have kids of our own to bring to Florida. The fact you got such good sun, does that mean poor Adam will have one white arm soon? poor mite!

    Wow that's such a great trip report...have read all the instalments back to back....what a great holiday!
    I am getting the taste for Florida, for sure!
    Do you not get Subway in UK, as it seems to be a hit with the family?
    We have those foot long subs here in Melbourne, you can get foot long ones for 3 pounds here.

    Good reporting!
    Thanks for sharing!

    Thank you for all your comments - I was afraid you would think them dull, Adam has two brown arms and did really well, I think my fear was the rods coming out, I know Adam is dreading the next operations around Oct as he has been told he will have to go into theatre to have the metal work taken out, on his last check up before we went out on hol one was healing nicely the other a bit slower.

    As for the spiders I have not seen many, one thing did happen and was so funny, when we went to watch the parade at night in MK we were stood waiting and it was getting dark when am American couple camr by the side of us, the lady sat down on a map as it had been raining, she was near a drain!! as I looked down I saw the biggest cockroach heading towards her leg - now I don't like these, so I quitely bent down and whispered if I were you I would stand up as there is a cockroach near your leg, I was trying to be discreet - she jumped up and had a fit - thank you she replied - her hubbie said now if that had touched her --------- and he promtly stood on it

    Jacqueline,
    You know they say a picture paints 1,000 words!! do you intend to post any from your trip? I have to admit going off taking photos, as I did school photography for a while[msnsmile]I will have to ease myself back into it before the family goes over in October

    Yes I will post some photos but as many know my computer died before I went on holidays, so I have been using my laptop (not so keen on this) but hopefully my new one has been built and should be installed tonight, so I will just have to sort a few programs out then I will post.
