Back home now and missing FL already.
It was our 8th trip this time. Stayed at Hampton Lakes booked through an agent. fantastic villa less than a year old and also had free pool heating (someone forgot to turn it off !).

IOA and Universal had no queues, straight on the rides which was bril.

A few things that I have always wanted to do but never got around to until this trip were

We saw the Peabody Ducks on their march over the red carpet (very eccentric guy Mr. Peabody I should imagine)

Did the Boggy Creek airboat ride which was excellent fun

Went to watch a rodeo, but wouldn't do it again

The Highlight although very short was a Helicopter trip over Disney well worth the money.

Every year we make a point to drive to the gulf to siesta key the whitest beach in the world (I think) and then on to Madeira Beach to St Johns Pass and have a meal at Scully's fish restaurant, a long way to go for a meal but a good atmosphere along the boardwalk. We saw dolphins jumping in the water. Those of you that have been will know. Has anyone been there ??


Its good to try other stuff that you havn't done before, all in all we had a fab trip can't wait til next year now !!
