| Update 10/28/08-The Beginning Thu 10/16 Because I got in so late, we slept in today, and then tried to do all the last minute packing.  What were we thinking?! I think we had planned on leaving for Cincinnati around 3pm or so. I had enough Wyndham Rewards points to get a free room at the Baymont Inn, Airport there  .... and guess what?  They had "Park, Stay and Fly" so we could park the car there for free!! That would save us about $70-$80!!! So we got packed and ready to go about 5:30pm.  Our PT Cruiser ready to go. We stopped at my Mom's to leave Tia, our Chihuahua, with Granny for the time we're away.   Then we were off on vacation!! My Tom-Tom tried to take us about 50 miles out of the way, good thing I knew about where we were going!  We got to the Cincinnati area about 2 hours later and stopped at Applebee's for a light dinner. Soup, salad, and a Key Lime Shooter!  With a coffee and Bailey's to drink. Satisfied, we got back in the Cruiser and went across the Ohio river into Northern Kentucky, where the Cincinnati airport and our hotel are located. We found the hotel and got checked in about 10:30pm.Up Next: Rude People, Airplanes, Boats, and Carriage Rides!

| Update 10/28/08-Rude People, Airplanes, Boats, and Carriage Rides! Fri 10/17 I woke up about 4:50am  , I guess I just couldn't sleep! I got DW up about 6:20am. We got down to breakfast about 8. It was a decent breakfast with waffles, french toast, scrambled eggs, toast & pastries, cereal, coffee, tea, and juice.We took the 8:30 shuttle to the airport and chatted with a Delta Flight Attendant. There were virtually no lines and we were through security by 9:00. DW had to go through that new "air-puff" machine, and she got startled a bit, not knowing what to expect  . We found our gate and I went to get a water and a diet soda for Brenda. We had over an hour before boarding, so we just found a seat and waited.    Our Jet getting ready to take us on vacation We had a problem trying to board the plane. You can only get our side of the story, so I'll try not to bore you with details. Suffice to say, there are rude people who think they can physically push their way past women to get in front and then call those women names that shouldn't be said in public.... and yes, they usually get away with it!  I wasn't going to let that ruin things, but words were said, and then we tried to forget it and just go to Orlando. We arrived there on time at 12:45 and went thru the airport with no problems. We boarded DME at 1:15pm and Benjamin drove us to POFQ where we arrived about 1:45pm. (we were the first stop!)   Patsy checked us into room #5327, which was nothing special. Building #5 in the back. We settled in the room.    Then we went in search of food via the water taxi to DTD.     We decided on Earl Of Sandwich and we went in and checked out the menu. There was DW's meatball sandwich and they had one called the All American which sounded good to me. These had to be some of the best sandwiches ever! We both liked them very much.   We wandered around WOD and made our way back to the boat dock.  We took the boat over to PO Riverside. We in the food court and had dessert (chocolate cake and ice cream).  We were way early for our carriage ride, so we just sat on a bench and watched the peoples' reaction to the horses.  Finally it was 7:45pm, time to check-in for our 8:00 ride! Miss Linda, our driver, and Lance, a 2000 lbs. Percheron Draft Horse, gave us our ride.   This was one of the most memorable times of our trip. It was really relaxing. They took us down river, through the French Quarter, and back up river to Riverside. The ride is about 30 minutes. We took the boat back to French Quarter and had some of their famous beignets and hot tea for a snack. We went back to the room and got our bags ready for pick up tomorrow. You don't put your bags outside anymore, you just have them ready just inside your door for Bell Services to pick up about 8am. Up Next: An Unknown Passporter meet and We Be Cruisin'!

| Sorry for the rude people Kenny--hopefully that will be the worst part of the trip! The rest sounds like a good time so far, though. Thanks for sharing all the great pictures, too! Looking forward to more.... (And you know how patient we New England women are!!!) |

That ride or the boat ride.... but I was more relaxed after the carriage ride. BTW we looked for Colin's alligator every time we were near the river, but we didn't find it. Quote:
I was a patient once.... that may have been because of a New England woman....
