Until I head down to Florida for vacation! I cannot wait. I'll be in Magic Kingdom this Thursday (7/2) then going to Universal Friday & Saturday (7/3, 7/4) and Seaworld on Sunday (7/5). Still unsure where were going to go and see fireworks on the 4th.. I've heard Epcott has the best show.
First time in 5 years I'm taking more than a week vacation, family time and enjoyment is precious... much more than anything else to me.
I'm off to Gran Canaria in 2 days!! First holiday abroad in 7 years! Funnily enough, my last trip abroad was Florida too
Good for you Bruvas. Hope you have a great time. The white and I are having a staycation this weekend. No grandkids running around and wifey and I are loving it.
Back from vacation... was an amazing time. Instead of doing Seaworld we decided to hit some places on the way back (Georgia Aquarium, Grand Ole Opry, Ripleys Believe It or Not Museum).
If you're gonna go to Florida, I'd definitely recommend Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure. I'm a huge roller coaster enthusiast, been on every single one on the east coast. The Hulk in Islands of Adventure is the best roller coaster I've ever been on. Also check out Disney's Hollywood Studios.
Sitting in the reception at my hotel in Gran Canaria waiting for the bus to arrive and take us back to the airport
Well.... It was until we landed back in the UK.... My wife hands me the car keys asking me to put them in my pocket. This is at 1.45am. Standing waiting for 30 minutes before the baggage carousel starts. Finally get outside the airport at 2.40am, and the keys are missing from my pocket. The tour operator is closed, someone says they open at 6am. The wife and kids sleep on chairs while I stand guard over the luggage. 6am comes, they say they have nothing from the plane, but to try lost and found at 8am. I wait another 2 hours, nothing I book a ticket for the family to get home on the train - £135 later we arrive at the train station. My wife's father picks us up and takes them home and me through to my work to get the spare key. I get back on another train and pay £57 to get back to the airport. The train runs late and terminates 15 miles from the airport. I get a taxi - £25. The taxi can't enter the secure parking so I'm left to run a mile after not having slept for over 30 hours. Get the car, Red Bull (x3) and Electric River blasting from the stereo. 2 hour drive and I'm home.... Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And I was so waiting for the end when you say "I found my car keys in me jacket pocket or something. After all that it sounds like you could use a mini vacation to recover from that. Glad everyone made it home (finally) safe.
Oh man that's rough, I feel for ya!! that should have got the post holiday blues out the way all in one go though!
I hear ya mate, I had a similar experience coming back from the States after playing a Paintball Tournament. Once I finally got my car and my way home. I drove for about 40min maybe on the wrong side of the road. Was that tired and used to driving in the States. It was about 4am so very little traffic. But still.
