I forgot to mention that I finally met the GRINCH!!! I was on the Dr Seus Carousel and I spotted the grinch in the distance, so as soon as the ride stopped I ran over to him and got my picture with him, one of the happiest moments of my life. He was just as mean as he should be and he made a loser sign on my picture. Oh how I love him!... read more

Not too much to update about, but one cool thing we did was to go to the Peabody hotel, at either 11am, or 5pm to see the ducks. We went at 5pm, basically its a tradition in all Peabody hotels that there are some ducks, myabe about 6 that live in a suite onto of the hotel, then at 11am they get in a lift (reserved for ducks, and the duckmaster) and then parade down a red carpet to a fountain in the reception, where they then stay until 5pm when they parade back up, its really cute and worth seeing) Today we checked out millenia mall, which was very nice, had shops like Jimmy Choo etc, not that we could afford that! Then Alex and I went to Universal, which was fine at first ... read more

Alex and I hit the City walk big style last night! We started off with a drink all together in a piano bar, then the oldies left and we partied hard! The ID worked, which is good as we got IDed loads, they are so strict, i feel sorry for all those under 21, I would have hated it! So it was a big event last night as it was Labour day weekend, which meant it cost $10 to get in, and it was all cordoned off to the people that didnt play, and they had 'big DJs', none we knew, and their standard or dance music was terrible, but they did play some tunes. We moved between 'The groove' and 'the latin quater' which were very busy. We made a friend, a random american ... read more

Tuesday 31st August: Cocoa Beach In the morning Pops and I rented two boards and hit the beach. It was boiling hot, and the waves were strong, due to the hurricane Earl. Whilst we were surfing, mother witnessed a young hassle Hoff esk rescue; some people just cant handle these hurricane waves, unlike us North sea hardcore folk. After we were slightly sunburnt and knackered we packed up and headed to Orlando. Had a smooth journey and then after cruising International Drive, found our new house. It’s very nice, lovely area, looking onto the lake. We don’t have internet so Pops and I went on a mission to find internet to get in touch with Kirsty, on the slight chance that we may get Disney Tickets. Luckily we did and we got 3 free hopper tickets. ... read more

After leaving St. Augustine’s Historic district we headed to an area called Valano, which is a beach town, with beautiful beach front houses and motels, but it was quite derelict, but cool; perhaps its busier in the high season. We then headed to Anastasia Island, and were planning to stay there, we found a lovely motel, with a seafront pool and access to the lovely beach. However it was raining and felt really stormy so we decided to head to Daytona. We cruised the 50 miles, listening to Jacksonville rock (Guns and Roses and Nirvana) perfect American driving songs. We arrived in Daytona, and the sun was in the sky, finally! We are staying in a lovely motel and have a balcony which looks uninterrupted onto the beach and pool. The sea is wild, due to ... read more
