Thanks for that, going to see if Uber works out for us and if it doesn't at least I know we can do this online while we are there.

Enjoying all your reports

After such a busy day I don't know how you kept calm with the faff getting into the villa. Fab photos there from Washington though. Can see you packed lots in again despite the heat x

Glad you managed to get in eventually but shame you were a bit disappointed initially.

What a pity about the villa disappointing, that is frustrating about the bed but I think the downstairs looks lovely!

You must have felt so relieved to finally be settled after all your travels.

You'd another very busy and exhausting day. You really didn't need the hassle of changing cars and trouble gaining entry to the villa. But at least you arrived safely. I suppose after a long day you just want to arrive and everything be perfect but unfortunately lifes not like that. Looking forward to your Orlando adventures!

Must admit, we were on the verge of losing it ! It was a great day though.

It was lovely but just not quite what I had expected. The teens were very happy though.

Yes it all felt a bit if a faff on that last leg but the bigger car was definitely worth the hassle. And now for fun time

Well, I'm off for a rest now, having read 7 days! Making me rethink NY as a destination, just sounds exhausting and particularly when you said not sure how much you enjoyed it at the time, only afterwards. And 2 city breaks in a week - I hope Orlando is more relaxing for you... Having been there this July, I know it was unseasonably hot. Great report, I shall look forward to catching up with it!

It was tiring but I think having the afternoon rests really helped - we under estimated the heat though. Thanks for reading
