Boy what a long tip i had to get to the end.
I was reading another TR and noticed that you had one for you move to Orlando. So I pop over the that one, and found that you have a TR report that I missed from May.. Started to read that when I noticed a pre trip report. Started with that one this am (At work) . Read through that, then the TR and now this one. Maybe you should consider being a writer not that you've mad your big move.
CONGRATS on your move to Orlando

I'm glad you made it safely.

It's somethin I've often thought of doing myself, but just haven't been brave enougth.

Hope every thing goes well for you and your MOM

Getting around is easier than you think Amy! You'll find back ways and alternate routes fairly easily just by going out and driving- which is what we did when we first got here. Course, the GPS works too!

Hope all goes well with the rest of the move. Welcome to the neighborhood- officially!!

Welcome to Florida Amy! It's nice to have another New Englander around.

I'm not sure where your apartment is but there is a nice Walmart on Turkey Lake Road right near SeaWorld (towards Dr. Philips). There is also a new one on Goldenrod just past the airport. Neither show up on my GPS because they are too new, but Google Maps should get you there.

I love reading about your adventures as you get settled, can't wait for more!

[OhanaMama]

amy, you sound like you need to start a BLOG! It seems that people really enjoy reading about your florida adventures.. I know I do! sites like blogger.com and wordpress.com offer great free blog publishing.

Too funny - you are still living in a hotel, but have already started visiting the parks! I hope all goes well getting moved in and everything set up the way you want it. Looking forward to seeing pictures!

Well, I am not sure where I left off the days have been flying by and my head is still spinning and so Tuesday we checked out of the hotel around 7am. We loaded up the car with the last of the things in the hotel and then headed over to our apartment, let me tell ya! Seaworld is literally 7 minutes from my front door! and so we will have to go over and try that sometime!

I am loving it, when we get sad we can just Pop over to a park and geez who can be sad at Disney right????

Anyways, we headed over to the apartment, dropped off the bags, then I went back out and got breakfast at Dunkin Donuts.....Guess where that is located.....In the FRONT of our complex its so far man, takes me all of 30 seconds to get there LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!

With 2 coffees, and 1 coffee coolatta ( yes for once I am having caffiene need it today!) two bagels, two donuts, and a coffee roll breakfast is done! I bring it back the apartment where we have no chairs, no table, nothing zip zulch just a few bags, and we sit on the floor, eat our breakfast and wait for the movers to empty our bins so we can have places to sit and eat!

Our window for them to arrive as 8-10am. Our window for the tv, cable, internet, phone was 10-12....can you see where this is going? Yep they both arrived at 10am.. SO they unloaded the small tv so he could hook up the cable for us, then we had bought a new phone and luckily that was in the apartment charging already, and then mom got her work laptop out since it was easiest and got that ready for him so it worked out but that was some cramped quarters with 2 movers, 1 cable guys and 3 women sitting on lawn chairs as the movers said to sit down and just point to where we wanted things! OK! William and Elliot the sit and point method works for me!

Folks it took 6 of us 4 days to load 3 relocubes, it took 2 men, 3 hours to unload it what is wrong with that picture!

We made them lunch, gave them water, tipped them and they were all gone by 2pm. We were beat but we got the beds made so we had somewhere to sleep and then relaxed. Tomorrow would be the start of the unpacking!


I promise photos will be posted folks but if i knew where A. My camera, B. My camera's cord and C. batteries for the camera I'd upload them but right now I only have C. So I will post all kinds of photos at the end I am sure!
