A bon voyage ... we hope.

A little lighter today ...

Our travel plans for this year are coming together ... normally we take a little break from the snow and cold here and travel to Florida in early February.

We didn't go this year as my brother has decided to "do the right thing" and get hitched in October in Cozumel Mexico... on a cruise. The cash register starts ringin' .... oh ..there's more.

Since my wife refuses to step aboard a plane after seeing that second plane, as it happened, fly into the WTC, we have to drive. A week away does not justify driving nearly 6000 kms, soooo it's gotta be two weeks....Hey..we're going to be down there for Halloween .. why not do it at Disney for Mickey's Not-so-scary Party?? Cha-ching.....

So the plan is to drive down, take the 7-day cruise and then return to Kissimmee for a week. Courtesy of the magic of the internet we have just rented a beautiful 5 bedroom house in a great neighborhood close to the parks that is owned by a nice young family in Ireland.... we have done this before and it is an excellent, affordable way to stay. If you have two families together it's way cheaper than hotel rooms. You don't have to eat restaurant food all the time.... with the expense that comes with it. No sharing a pool with 200 people.

Sound like fun ?
