Hi all, its not so exciting so please dont expect much
to start with theres me,Liesa, hubby Steve, one of our boys Russ hes 24, and Lauren youngest daughter aged 12
we sailed through departures, well apart from me setting alarms off, and having a full search (not to full)
turns out it was my new knee,anyway they were brilliant to us as was everyone else who helpes us through boarding etc, we kind of skip the queue and straight on through, brilliant
boarded the plane, and went to sit in the bulkhead seat alloted to us 21 E and D and well i had tears i was so embarressed the seat was tiny, even a lady smaller then me was so uncomfortable in that seat she asked to be moved as did another man who had a little boy he was mad that the seats were so tiny, i was lucky that the seat next to me was vacant for the flight so the air hostess allowed me to leave the arm up for the flight, so it wasnt to bad, but what would i have done if there was someone sitting next to me on that flight?, we had games in the control box on the arm of the seat, never had them before, Steve and Russ watched the movies and Russ snored his head off!
what a mess at orlando!! the luggage belt kept stopping as it was jamming and it took forever to sort out, our flight landed on time at 5 past 3 in the afternoon and we didnt leave the airport till 5pm, then got the shuttle bus to hertz, wont ever do this again, i took hertz as it was with exp.... seemed cheap at the time, but we got a van that was sooooooooo basic a uplander of some sorts, not impressed with space inside, have usually got a dodge caravan and lose the 2 rear seats into the floor allowing loads of luggage space, this was chockablock inside and we only had 6 cases!
anyway found our way to the villa eventually, this car didnt have a compass or thermometer so we could tell what direction we were going in or how hot it was
once at Terra Verde it all came back to us, its been 2 years since our last holiday and we loved it here so much last time, its Pauls house (50smtg) its lovely, all bright and cheery, oh and the pool was sooooooooooo lovely we went in there before we went to walmart etc heavenly,
after a bit we dressed and headed to walmart to buy much needed stuff, didnt even bring tooth brushes etc, we bought loads of stuff had macdonalds that night and i hate them, but time travel was catching up on us, headed back to the villa we watched Tv and low and behold there was severe weather warnings a tornedo expected to touch ground before 11.15, luckily it missed here and struck a place called eustice damaged some houses and trees.......this is all day 1,
day 2,
did some serious sunbathing very hot here, fell asleep outside but we dont get burnt here, thank goodness, we had ponderosa at lunch time and as per usual Russ and Lauren are so difficult to feed! grrr, but went to golden coral in the evening and they did find lots of things they liked and ate, especially cheese and tomato pizzas!!
did some more shopping, only walmart, have to get ourselves sorted for some real shopping!! and more swimming in the pool, went for a drive in the evening, of course we got totally lost, we drove every which way but the way we needed! my eyes were getting so heavy, Lauren ahd nodded off but i had to stay awake for Steves sake, didnt help that it kept raining,
sunday morning, could barely walk, i look like a robot!! had some tablets and food and now happily typing away on here, we are trying to decide what to do, i think Lauren and Steve will go fishing shortly, i will lay outside with my book and just chill some more!!!
sorry its not so exciting but hey thats me!
back in a few days or so, bye for now xxx
