Early start, bags to coach at 7:45am, got to have OJ and Vegemite toast for brekkie though which really helped with the 3hrs sleep and hangover. Slept for 2 hrs on the bus. We had a quick stop somewhere then as we were heading to Charleston, Christina put on our Surprise movie, The Notebook (as it was filmed in Charleston and we had been nagging her about watching it anyway!) In Charleston we saw the Painted Row which was a row of houses painted in pastel colours and is apparently the most famous part of Charleston. We wanted to get out [View Full Entry]

We had another early start, 7:30 bags to coach for our drive to the pretty town of Savannah. We only stopped off once along the way so not a super long drive. We arrived in Savannah at about 12:30 so couldnt even check into our hotel yet. We went for a walk round the town, to the main shopping strip where we found a few little shops and had Subway for lunch mmmm. We continued on our walk and came across Chippewa Square which is where in Forrest Gump the bus stop he is waiting at, on the park bench was [View Full Entry]

Jumped on the bus again and finally made it to sunny Cocoa beach by about 12:30. We couldnt check in until 2pm so we all hit the beach til then.

Temp: 35°C After just a few hours sleep we dragged our butts outta bed as we had a free brekkie and we wanted to make the most of it. It was buffet of just about anything you could imagine. Personally i only had a plate of fruit with some vanilla yogurt and a lil bit of bacon (which i still cant work out why its sweet here, not salty) a lil bit of scrambled eggs and a glass of OJ. We were getting dropped at south beach by jerry at 9:30ish for a free day. We headed straight for the beach [View Full Entry]

Nothing much here, just a Dunkin Doughnuts etc. We jumped back on the coach for another 2hours (Christina had put the end of Pirates of the Caribbean on for us for entertainment.

Headed back to the hotel by 9:00am as Jerry was dropping people at the themeparks. As id already done Disneyland, California Adventure Park and Universal Studios in LA, myself, Lauren and Dani decided to use the money we saved on an entry ticket to one of the parks on checking out the Prime Outlets. So we got a lift out to Universal Studios then got a cab from there. [View Full Entry]

Temp: 38°C - very humid We got abit of a sleep in today, bags to coach wasnt until 9;00am. We jumped on the bus and headed for Pensacola, Florida. It was planned we'd have a day at the beach.. unfortunately for us, the storm that has been following us across the country continued to stalk us. We got off the bus and headed for the water, only to be told about 10minutes later that we must get off the beach and head for cover as there was lightening around, apparently 'the water isnt the safest place to be in a storm”, [View Full Entry]
