nothing too thrilling on day 1, as much as i hate gett ing out of bed before the crack of 10, we were heading to the florida. i may groan at the thought of sleeping in cars and planes, rather than in my comfy king size bed, but it's my first time to florida and i was more excited to be in the car and out the door at 7 am to calgary than recuping any lost sleep. there were no screaming kids on the flight, unlike our trip to mexico last year, and the stewards, or "flight attendants" to be politically correct, on TED airlines were hilarious. It's spring break and the boys, 14 and 15 were looking forward to having fun and meeting pretty girls... we were not seated together and both boys were seated to snoring old men... lol. Our 5 hour layover in chicago was trying, since they changed our departure gate 3 times, from one, to another and then back to the original gate, but at least we weren't delayed days like fellow travelers we met. Since the flight to Orlando was overbooked, we had the opportunity to change flights to boston, spend the night in a paid for hotel and then on to florida the next day, but thankfully we chose to continue onto florida that night and enjoyed the in-flight movie, alvin and the chipmunks. Plus, the boys were seated in the midst of 8 teenage girls! talk about heaven and we hadn't even stepped foot in florida state. we learned the next day that chicago was hit with a huge storm and 300 flights were canceled, and the entire eastern seaboard had horrendous weather. Good thing we didn't switch flights, for we were safe in orlando being shuttled to the car rental agency and then tucked in the hampton inn for the rest of the night before we could check into our resort.... problem... car doors wouldn't lock... so we emptied the entire car and would exchange the next morning...after a restful nights sleep
