Flight sounds good - always handy to have a spare seat next to you. Shame about the lack of Tom Cruise movies, but Maleficent Mistress of Evil is good (well, I thought so ). Food seems decent too.

Well done on managing to get out on your first evening, you must have been so tired by then. Lovely that the bartender remembered you, and nice pizzas too for dinner.

Your accommodation looks fine for what you need, although it does look a bit dated. As long as it's clean though, that's what really matters. Also not sure about the glass blocks on the outside wall of a ground floor bathroom I'm guessing you won't be asking for that feature in your new home Oh dear, another sleepless night - I hope you manage to catch up on your rest at some point. A very exciting reason for not sleeping well though, I'm looking forward to reading more about your new home plans.
I’ve had such mixed pre travel nights .. can remember some where I’ve slept right through and others with no kip at all. Completely random !
Flight was excellent .. and yes I am not an Angelina fan but she is excellent in that role.
Ha ha deffo no glass blocks in the bathroom. Weird. And there was a path along the outside. Poor design !
The resort looked pretty good. Rooms just needed to get out of the 80s we felt. All that wicker and cane furniture ..

Eek It was so disorienting waking up thinking what the heck is bleeping .. am I awake or sleepwalking Took me ages to work it out And Andy didn’t hear it at all.

I remember all the excitement around you buying your dream home, I’m so jealous.

With our upcoming November trip unlikely to happen ,it’s nice to indulge in a little bit of Florida magic
Hey there Thank you x it’s taken me an age to get round to this. We were so excited and then it went so flat , I couldn’t bring myself to write it. I reckon I jinxed it posting on insta when we were out there .. let’s hope this doesn’t do the same

You did so well to actually get out to have food on arrival!
I laughed about the karaoke as DD and I have just watched Mama Mia
Great travel day
It’s a fine looking plane ... I do like Virgin .. it’s always been a quality experience for us ...
Ha ha, the lady singing in the karaoke had a really deep voice so it was quite off key and completely surreal. Kudos to her for giving it a go. It just contributed to my sense of being totally spaced out
