We're not open Christmas Eve, let's fly to Florida - day 4 - Dec 28th - shopping!

Still up early, can't shake it!

Toast and marmalade sitting in bed, has to be done on holiday!

This morning we are off to Millenia. I predict the I4 will be horrendous so we leave about 9am.

I am correct! We can see the traffic so we don't even bother getting on it! We go the back way up Old Lake Wilson Road to the 192 and pick up the I4 there as it's moving well. We get back off by the Vineland outlets as it's getting crazy and crawling. We drive up I drive and take Oakridge Road up by e other outlets and head into Millenia the back way. It's taken an hour to get here! Bit of a foggy morning but still warm.

The decorations in here are just gorgeous.

We head into Tommy Bahama, we have a coupon for $50 off a $100 spend. Richard buys a jumper for $99.50 so with tax we can get our $50 off. Next stop is Starbucks, always very busy in here! I have a Toasted white chocolate mocha, heavenly!

Not sure about the name though!😳

A stroll around and into Bath and Bodyworks, they have a buy 3, get 2 free deal so it would be rude not to!

We visit Macy's, still looking for new bedding for the master suite. Looks like locusts have been in here and stripped the place bare!

We head back home and have a bacon and egg sandwich.

We spend some time painting in the villa, covering all the scuffs and scratches.

We head out to see another owner that we know, we are buying a patio table from him. Apparently the legs on ours got broke! Not sure how or when apart from it was after Irma! Our pool umbrella is also missing presumed stolen as it's not where my MC left it! We buy an umbrella from our friend as well, we do manage to get everything in the car but have to take the legs off the table first.

We nip to Publix on the way home to buy Diet Coke with lime, my favourite drink! They have an offer on, 3 packs for $13, that's 36 cents a can - bargain!

The rest of the afternoon is spent chilling. We have a new mattress arriving between 5 and 10pm. We have a call to say it will be here at 6.35! Very precise, but it arrives bang on time! Excellent service from Mattress Firm, highly recommend them!

Chilli for tea with garlic bread. Living the high life!

Oh don't you love how the phone you and saynwebwill be there at usually 5/10 mins away love how you both do the touch up paint this is usually Ian's excuse I'd just be in your road so I'll go and play golf
Funny how things disappear and even better when things seems to multiply our are pillows go awol and we seem to have a breeding pairs of spray fans ponchos and refillable mugs and magic scrubs are great for scuff marks on the trims

[EssexSue]

Ooh I have never tried diet coke with lime, I have to try that!
Have you looked in Burlington Coat Factory for bedding? Mind you it's very random like all those sort of places! X

We have started using the I Drive / Oakridge road rather than the I 4 so much better

Some bargains got

Funny that things go missing from the Villa

Mattress looks good and on time

We were amazed when Room to Go delivered our 3 piece sofa, the guy just put it on his shoulder and brought it in

Chilly still looks good.

The Mall of Millennia looks pretty. I did laugh at how Starbucks spelled your name. They never get mine right, it normally gets written down as Mary or Maria!

[Mr Tom Morrow]

PD. A nice relaxing day, well once you dodged the traffic!
I have given up telling Starbucks my proper name so just say Fred now. Mind you even that they struggle with, must be the Welsh accent.

Nice shopping day. I could just eat some chilli.
