The plans for this holiday started life as a week relaxing in a villa in Spain. When we discovered we could spend two weeks relaxing in a villa in Florida for the same price, well, as I'm posting in the Florida Trip Report forum, we all know what happened to that week in Spain
Little tweaks were made to the plans, booking a few days at Sapphire Falls for the end of the holiday for example, but otherwise, the holiday was exactly as it was supposed to be, a chilled out, relaxing one. No parks, nowhere to be, nothing to do, and you know what? We loved every minute of it!
So, if it's lots of action, advice and tips about what to see and do in the Orlando area that you're after, you're going to be disappointed. Don't get me wrong, we did go out and do things, mostly on the spur of the moment, some you may not have read about before, but we didn't discover anything earth shattering and you won't be making suggestion lists based on this trippy!
However, if you want to read about what it's like to just take each day as it comes, then stick around, this might just be the report for you!
We ate out every day, sometimes more than once
in all the usual Dibb favourites, so there will be food pictures. We shopped a bit, swam a lot, played cards a lot, and generally just enjoyed being in what has become our favourite place to be.
If you are reading, please let me know as it genuinely does help to get these things finished - they take a lot of time, and can seem never ending (trust me, you only have to read them
)
So, welcome along and I hope you enjoy
