Reubs and a gator..
Again, it is a photo of a photo...This is a vacation...so today we did nothing. Casual day reading, hour or so in the pool and then just for something completely different...Walmart!!! Admittedly it was for groceries in the main, but even so...new part of the experience was that we went to a different Walmart...cos they don't all look the same! Concerned that we are actually getting directions to 'other' Walmarts from 'helpful' connoisseiurs of the Walmart brand corresponding with us.
The management here has clearly heard from the outlet malls that we're high rollers and as a result they are trying to sell me time shares everywhere from Cancun to the South Carolinas. They started out with offering me $75 off admission tickets to Disneyworld to attend a 90 minute presentation, only proviso being that Sandy is in attendance also. (they have worked out who makes the money calls!) I have politely declined repeatedly, but the man is insistent. Todays offer is now at US$150, a continental breakfast, a playroom complete with XBox 360 and Playstation for the kids while they pitch thier promotion and they will now throw in 2 complimentary 'glow in the dark' light sabres...thats after 6 days! Cannot hazard a guess as to
Caitlin with the gator...
Bit heavy for her by herself.. what the offer will be after 3 weeks!
Sorted the tickets today for Disneyworld and will probably look at EPCOT tomorrow...maybe!
Had published already but Sandy wants a couple of photos in from yesterday...now the quality of these photos is not very good and that is because they are really photos of photos! Why you ask? Well, the company was raising money for some alligator sanctuary or worthy cause (Cletus's Hooter's beer coaster collection probably) and so asked 'politely' that we not take our own pictures but rather 'buy' theres cos its for charity...well its not sensible to argue when your in 'Deliverance' country, miles from nowhere and talking to a man who walks around carrying alligators all day!
