    We're here- 1st trip report

    Our morning started with Lucy's wobbly front tooth falling out- so she was excited that the tooth fairy would be visiting her in Florida and getting dollars instead of pounds!!

    The flight left Glasgow on time yesterday and its was a nice new A330- had taken Lucy's DS to entertain her but needed have been worried so much stuff on the seat back entertainment that she didn't ask for her DS at all. I tried to watch a few movies but find movies hard to watch on board and only managed one all the way through. It seemed like a long flight but we arrived into MCO aearly at just before 4pm.
    The immigration queue was long but got through to car hire in about an hour which was a huge improvement on last year!!
    It was raining when we arrived but kind of expected it as we had seen a forecast before we left.

    Tried to use the save time ref at the machines but it didn't work but a lovely guy came along and phoned throught to the garage and told us just to go across and say he'd sent us(we were very grateful as the queues at the Alamo desks we quite long)

    We got a lovely big dark red Tahoe with 11,000 miles on the clock. Very pleased with it- although hubby is still getting used to it.
    So we arrived at Emerald Island at exactly 6.30 which was fab.

    Our villa is lovely and we had some champange last night to celebrate arrival and then off to bed, its now about six am andI've been awake for ages so decided to get up- looking forward to seeing some lovely sunshine today!!

    So thats it for now - just really glad to get here after a week of uncertainty with the ash cloud. And soooo happy to be back- feels like coming home!!
