How exciting! Becoming a Florida resident, getting a PINK apartment, getting your keys, gate passes, pool passes to your new home, and going to DTD to meet up with great friends.......all in the same day! Now I would call that a stellar day!
Congrats on finally getting there girl! I am so glad you are having fun in the middle of it all!

Congratulations, new Florida resident! Pink is just so appropriate! I'm glad you have a nice quiet unit away from the road.

Now, I assume, you will be applying for a job at WDW? Since you're a former intern, and a sweet, wonderful person, I bet they will hire you immediately!

Enjoy moving in day!

Long Update and PHOTOS!

So I finally had time tonight to update and I even took time to upload photos from my blackberry to my computer for you!

So here goes!
First here is a photo of DawnDenise and I from my blackberry we were being silly when I dropped her off at her hotel and this is the photo we got... Definitely no Chins and Cheese here



Sunday 9/21

We slept in this morning, I spent time reading passporter and Dyan's DL TR which if you haven't read please do so I spent the morning wishing I were in DL!

Once we were done with breakfast, getting ready, and had everything we needed we left about 1pm. We headed out trying to find a Wal-Mart but the GPS took us to a Sam's Club so we gave up and just got onto the SR 528 and drove for 45 minutes or so out to Cocoa Beach and Port Canaveral. Our plan was to wave and send off the Disney Wonder today, and there was a Passporter Pal onboard so I called her cell phone and told her to look out her verandah and she was in shock as she saw me, mom and grandma waving to her who was it..... Rescuesk -Sue and we drove in circles so that she had time to get her video camera out so she could videotape us waving to her we even drove down the road the wrong way

Here are photos of the ship and the drive to it.





































So once we said goodbye to Sue by phone we drove into Port Canaveral and went to Jetty Park. Its $5 for cars, they have a beach, a campground, a playground and fishing grounds. We parked right on the jetty and waited for the Cruise ships to start coming out. First out was the Carnival Sensation, then the Royal Caribbean Mariner of the Seas, and then finally the Disney Wonder. We waved and waved and waved but don't know if Sue and Steve saw us or not!

Here is some photos of the Jetty.








Here Sue Goes!


After it was out of sight we left and headed back to orlando, we had dinner at Cracker Barrel and then hit Super Target to get a few things. Then Back to the hotel where we crashed.

Up Next....My Breakfast adventure
