sunday 21st Oct 07
we had the alarm set for 4am and it was still quite a job to get the gang up and ready for the taxi collecting us at 5am for our flight to Miami. But I managed it and we were soon waiting in the departure lounge for our flight along with a couple of celebs - someone called John jackson ( I think - connor says he is cool) and Ruby Wax and family.
Had a very uneventful flight and were through Miami in a jiffy and sitting on the beach in Deerfield in no time. Did no really do much else but chill out and have a few coctails before hitting the sack.
Monday 22nd
Well today was planned out great but did not go according to plan. Boys wanted to hit the local skate park so off we went with boards in the car. Found the park no problem but were told that due to council cutbacks it was only open at weekends. Boys not too impressed but we thought we would drive up to Jupiter beach instead do some surfing. Bad idea! We found the beach - or rather what was ledft of it after a storm had blown the rest away last year. So we thought while we were there we would tour the Jupiter lighthouse and museum - nope, it is not open on Mondays. By this time the troops had had enough so we drive back to base and had a swim in the pool and a soak in the hot tub. Another early night as we were getting up ealy to see the launch of the shuttle tomorrow.
Tuesday 23rd
Up at 6am and loaded in the car for the 3hour drive to Cocoa beach. Arrived with an hour to spare so got the boys kitted out with their surf boards and then settled down on the beach to watch the launch. All went according to plan, however Lee was not very well at all and slept the entire day under a beach umbrella and towel. Boys had a great time in the surf and then we drove the 3 hours back again.
Wednesday 24th
Pretty uneventful as Lee is still not well. Took the chaps to Sawgrass Mills for some retail theropy and Sam had a great time at Wanadoo City. It is like a theme park based around jobs and real life. Look it up on the internet - well worth a visit. Anyway Looks like it is another early night and hoping that Lee will be better tomorrow so we can hit South Beach. Bye for now
