Orlando Fla
 
Came vacation here from Tues - Sat

Been here only a few days and this place is pretty awesome as far a tourist. We are staying at Loews Royal Pacific resort at Universal... You need a month to cover it all but we are giving it hell

Surprised my wife for our anniversary by taking her to swim with dolphins all day tomorrow!!!

If you ever get a chance to come its worth the drive

Only down fall

#1 too many queers
#2 long boring drive

You drove? That's painful, did that once with my family when I was a kid.

Have a good time, lots to do in the area. Take the short drive down to Tampa Bay and check it out, very cool city.

Driving is the only way to go under 15 hours. I can't stand being beholden to airlines, airports, shuttles, rent-a-cars, cabs, the list goes on and on.

You speak the truth!

ckinchen 04-25-2013 07:27 PM

That is because you guys don't have a real airport. Direct flight from either airport in Houston, bush is 15 minutes from my house. My time is with way more than a 15 hour drive. I probably fly 40 or more time a year, for me it's the only way to go.

Sure Paul, there are never wrecks or issues out of your control on the highway. You are in complete control of everything on I-10.......

That may be true in your case, I've always look at it as an adventure. I've been to Florida 27 times. I remember the bridge on hwy 98 into Destin being made of wood.

You saved some money, would you have rather had 12 extra hours of vacation with your family? Everything in life has a price. What if you would have only saved $50?

How can you possibly keep up with how many times you have been to Florida? I have been to hackberry 197 times and Grand Isle 186.

Do you remember when McDonald's tried to sell some Chinese food in the early 80s? They gave out chopstick, he had some in his truck along with a bag from every other meal he has had since 1972. My poor spoiled son was really concerned about us getting to the duck blind. I had my cell ready to call my wife to come and get us.

He will die as the richest man that ever lived though so what he is doing is working I guess.
