Very nice!
I arrived yesterday and it’s been plain sailing so far🤞 Airport was a breeze, testing easy and result back before breakfast.
Don’t usually do beach holidays but I could get used to this!

See more...

So glad you got there. It looks wonderful.
We are 3weeks behind you and keeping everything crossed

Did you do fast track at the airport?

Ooh, that’s not long at all! Hope it all goes smoothly.
I didn’t do fast track but loads of people did. Maybe I was lucky with timings as it didn’t look like any other flights had landed just before us but I was out of the airport and in a taxi really quickly - less than 30 mins.

We went to Gatorland yesterday, boy was it hot. They've a bit of water play area where our kids cooled off, was solely tempted to join them in my clothes! 🙂

Moving to a 3 bed condo today, got a great price.

Booked Kennedy Space Center for Monday with AttractionTickets.com got the cheapest price compared to anything here.

Will be getting 14 days at Seaworld, Aquactica, Busch Gardens & free parking with them, but got to call today. Did a Twitter chat, and we have to arrange to collect the tickets at the Will Call desk apparently. The guy selling tickets in the hotel here thinks $1000 plus tax is a great deal for exactly the same Seaworld package... AT are doing it for over £400... you can't beat it.

Robyn it's a shame to read about your rocky start, but I'm sure it'll be worth all the hassles once you're on that plane. All the best to you both.

Right time to fire up that coffee machine 🙂

$1000 At least Dick Turpin had the decency to wear a mask when he was robbing you! Actually, he may have had one on too

Going to Gatorland today, then off to Cocoa Beach... both opportunities for further photo recreations.

The hotel we're staying in has gone downhill since last time we stayed. Using covid as a reason to not clean daily, to not provide evening socials (free food/wine), and it's far from cheap. Yet the car park is full, & they can charge what they want... plenty of demand.

That being said we booked a three bed condo in a gated resort last night... we need the space, and the washing machine & dryer! 🙂

As we need to get down to Miami for our flight home, we booked flights with Frontier last night. £40 each with all our luggage. So that's sorted now.

Anyway time to go get breakfast 🙂

Which Hotel was that?
Last time we stayed on Idrive we noticed the cleaning issue and that was before Covid-(actually had a similar problem at Disney too- But they compansate well so dont mind to much!)
If i told you the story of when Covid hit- and the room cleaning situation

To be honest, we're not on I-Drive, we're next to Seaworld at a Homewood Suites.

They're saying it's to not disturb you, and to minimise contact, cleaning every 3 days... yet breakfast is a food fighting fest, no social distancing, all self serve 🙂 Then they can't do the free evening meals/drinks because of Covid 🙂🙂 All cost saving.

Anyway moving to a three bed, two bath condo today. Less money than HW Suites!

So onwards & upwards.

Our turn soon. Heading to Jamaica on Wednesday for 15 nights with 2 of our children, their partners and 4 of our grandchildren. They are heading back to the U.K. after 2 weeks leaving us to hopefully head to Anna Maria.

It’s been a long time…..

Covid tests tomorrow so everything crossed!
