spring break 08 - day 2

one thing i like about staying in a hotel, is check out time isn't until 11 am, so it still gives me enough time to shower, hair, makeup and pack and still be able get up at the crack of 10. ray and the boys were up early and brought be breakfast in bed, and i readied myself while they exchanged rental cars. As we walked out to the parking lot - there were only two vehicles along the back, one being a convertable mustang... i jokingly called shotgun to derek who was walking over to look at the red and tan car rather than towards our blue rental, and son of a gun if it wasn't the new rental car! sweeeet! not so sweet when we tried to fit all our luggage in the itty bitty trunk! did i really need all 4 of my suitcases? of COURSE i did - well, at that moment anyways. as per usual... i over packed, so the boys had to sit with their suitcases atop them as we drove to check into the Vacation Villas on Parkway. after a long wait in line, they weren't ready for us and we would have to return after 3... so what is the first place you hit when you are in the disney triangle? - that's right - wall-mart. we got everything we needed to stock the kitchen for 5 days.. and my favourite wine was less than half the price compared to in canada - AT WALMART!!! (later we even found more varieties for $2.97. i think i could become a wino if i lived in the states.) so with food, 2 new bathing suits and sunscreen (jesse already had a sunburn just from the drive from orlando to kissimmee in the back of the convertable) - it was back to the condo - more waiting to find out - still not ready for us... ack - so we went to dinner and finally were able to check in... after waiting in line.... just warming up for the line ups to get on rides at the theme parks i guess .... so the boys headed to the pool and hottub and ray and i went for a drive down the 192 and ended up at callighan's custom bike bar to check out the bikes... and then back to the hotel and make plans for our stay on the balcony overlooking the pool, listening to the cicadas song - just like the crickets would sound like back home from our deck, but with palm trees and a tropical breeze - which was shortlived.... day 3 tomorrow :)
