July 2018 - The one with no PreTrip & a better chance of finishing **COMPLETE**

[clubhouse]

I've tried twice previously to write trip reports and been beaten by lack of time or technology, but this time I managed! This covers our 2018 summer holiday, staying in Tampa, Orlando and St Petes Beach visiting Busch Gardens, SeaWorld and the Universal Parks.

I don't think I managed to get round to introductions, since I didn't do a pretrip, so we are Anouska (me!), Scott (my very understanding other half), Daniel (aged 11) and Abbie (aged 9). We love Florida, especially Disney (but are giving WDW a miss this year ) and we are very excited about all things Harry Potter.
