Hello everyone - thanks for the messages - was a nice surprise when i logged on and its good to hear from you all.
Miami has been and gone - i miss the ace beach. Helen - I realised that there is only actually one beach and Miami Beach and South beach are actually places and not beaches (they like to confuse us dont they!) The Purple flag was up the other day which meant dangerous marine life but other people were in so we did as well.. i cant imagine it would have been sharks.. or would it! Anyway we lived and are in Orlando now - we are only here for a couple of nights.. its so so hot! We got the train from Miami and they are ace! Really nice and cool and loads of leg rooms.. it puts our trains to shame! I talked to a friendly american woman for quite a bit - we talked about American Idol, the fact that i was english, the fact that she likes the smell of jasmine and the fact that she is going to visit her sister who lives in Orlando. Friendly lady! It was a 5 hour trip up to Orlando and then 2 buses where we had a few problems getting off the buses with all our bags (the family will know what i mean when i say me and liz had one of our laughing episodes especially when i told Liz and Carol to jump off the bus off the disabled ramp..)
Our Hostel is in a really random place - but i dont think its too far from when me mum dad and amy went to florda all those years ago. It has a pool which is ace and it looks over onto a lake. Its only really for people wanting to go to all the parks like disney but im not too bothered about them really as ive done them all before.. im glad we are only here for 2 nights.
Last night we got talking to an american guy and two English girls and ended up staying up playing drinking card games with them all night.. was lots of fun. Today we have been round the pool a bit then maybe going to go crazy golfing or go karting in a bit as thats all thats round here really. Then tonight we are planning to go to Downtown Disney to see all that and rock out with Mickey and co! Tomorrow we set off to washington DC - 17 hours on the train.. woo hoo!! We are packing a huge packed lunch. And a blanket - the air conditioning is a bit too much sometimes!
Our hostel is really nice but apart from one thing - last night when i was passed out drunkenly on my bed i woke up and felt loads of things on me - i turned the light on and saw loads of little marks.. and then these marks started moving.. the bed was covered in bugs. Ive never moved so fast. Apart from that though its fine haha.
To the mad family - miss you all lots, i will try and give you all a call again soon maybe when im in washington. Mum i bet the house is a lot quieter and cleaner now im not there even though i was only there for 1 week. Gran - i've not done any washing yet!! Austin Powers - Yeah BABY! Dad - cant believe you would do that to your own son! Helen and Amy - hope you are coping with the rest of them without me! Buster Boo - i miss you this much .........................................!!!!!
Ofsted- how touching that you had a group read of my blog.. miss you all lots as well. How are the templates Andy? I hope they are sorted now haha. Paul i'll allow you to be Mr Dykes PA while im away, but only til i return. Fiona - im so so sorry about making you pay full price for greggs.. it must be tough. Ive not seen a greggs in days now! Suzie - BOB ON! Bulmer - we had a great stir fry last night that we made in the hostel.. you'd have been proud. Eleanor - ive read a good book but not yet had steak or the other of your favourite things yet.
Mark, Lisa, Gemma, Jen, Nick Louise etc.. hope Chorlton life is going good - Lisa how is the Courgette coming along? I want pictures and maybe a facebook photo album to show its progress. Mark i hope you are packing lots of factor 30 for when you come - i've nearly ran out now and ive not even been here a week yet! LA for us all soon! I hope Reynard is as good as ever and lou i hope you have settled into my room!
Anyway, i think we are going to go do something now, this is a fairly long blog - 2 dollars for an hour. Bargain!
I will at some point put pics up but i dont think i can on the computer - i cant see how i would do it.
Send me more messages - i like reading them. Speak to you all again soon! x
