Had another great time in Florida. Wife & I, both daughters ( 22 & 28 ), eldest daughter’s bf & a couple who were with us last year. We had a villa in Clermont and hired 2 cars, I had a 7 seater Dodge minivan and our friend chose the Kia SUV. It allowed us to all go together in the 7 seater or split up if required.
Didn’t really want to do a lot of parks this time as both my wife and friend had leg operations recently so were limited to the amount of walking they were able to do. It was my eldest and her bf’s first time in Florida so had to try and balance their visit with ours .
We decided to get the 3 park ticket for Busch Gardens, Seaworld & Aquatica and also booked a hotel in Miami for 2 nights since none of us have been.
So first week we crammed in a trip to Busch gardens, Seaworld & Aquatica and trips to the malls.
2nd week , Monday packed a few things and drove to Miami Beach with the 7 seater. Nice little hotel one street off Ocean Drive . Our youngest is an apprentice Tattoo Artist so was dying to see the Miami Ink studio from the TV series which was the street behind the hotel. To our surprise two Artists from the TV series were actually in the shop tattooing which we were told is pretty rare, so after a couple of pic’s with my daughter that was a great start to our mini trip. Was hot but pretty windy, very nice cars & a good few “plastic” poeple if you know what I mean !
Back up the road to Orlando, Wife , friends and eldest wanted to go to The Magic Kingdom (none of us has ever been to a Disney park), while the rest of us went to Gatorland which we enjoyed more by the sound of it.
Well that’s about it apart from overloading our cases with shopping.
First ever trip report so be gentle .
