[Steve]

Thats freaky,were going in May,it will be our 9th time.What part are you staying? Kissimmee?International drive?.This thread could go on for days now. :D

[dawn breaks]

Wow ! 9 times is it that good then? I am staying in a villa in Kisimmee. Hamiltons Reserve its called ,on Highway 192. Do u no it? Is it n e good?How far is it from Disney?It says 10 mins in the brochure is this true? U r right this could go on 4 days. Ive got so many questions. :cool:

[mouse boy]

Florida is great.I am only 8 and i have beenthere 6 times .universal studios is the best my favourtire ride is men in black

[dawn breaks]

Hi mouse boy,U r very lucky to have been there that many times.It must b really fab there . :cool:

[mouse boy]

It is our pool is the best.

[Steve]

Stayed at Hamiltons Reserve in 2000. It is a stunning place,you won't be disappointed. It is so clean and it is literally over the road from where we are staying this year in Montego Bay. Yes it is only 10 mins from Disney and is in a great location for everything.

[Sandra]

Dawn you cannot fail to enjoy Florida it's a really great place. You can make it as relaxed or as hectic and fun packed as you want. I went through a phase of wanting lots to do on holidays.....but I seem to be drifting back to wanting to do nothing except soak in the sun.

[Toony]

A girl after my own heart Sandra, I love just lying there and sipping on a beer at the side of the pool with a good book EXCEPT this year we are taking the kids!!! :eek:

Oh well, I can still dream. We are going to Costa del Sol in May, one week all inclusive.

sat in the sun next to a pool reading a good book...only interupted by the need for food.

Ask away,I'd be happy to answer if i can.

[dawn breaks]

I'm flying to Sanford airport.Is it right that it is about 30 mins drive b4 u get 2 Orlando?

[Sandra]

it's a quieter airport, and the longer drive gives you more chance to get used to the driving.

[mamma mia]

I was in Florida back in 2000, it's the food (unfortunately for my waist) that sticks in my mind, oh thoses huge portions, puts our retaurants to shame.

[Steve]

It also helps to know where you are staying. A work colleague of mine will be there the same time as me and he doesn't even know where he is staying yet.Its daunting enough as it is the first time without having that as well. If you want to send me a private message Dawn, with your address i can send you some maps of how to get to Hamiltons Reserve.Its up to you but it does help a little to get to know the names of the roads before you go.

[dawn breaks]

Thanks steve that would b gr8t. I'll let u know shortly.Cant wait now I'm really excited.

[dawn breaks]

:) Hi steve. I just sent u a private message.Thanx again :)

[Steve]

Hi dawn ,just sent you a couple of maps.Hope they help.

[Steve]

How many of you on here like to just lie by the pool or on the beach all day? Don't mind it but there has to be something else to do when you don't feel like it. I'm not in to this hiking holiday thingy though. That looks to strenuous. :D

[mouse boy]

I love the pool in our house in florida.i coulld spend all day in therebut the parks are also good too.

[Jess]

It's such a wierd time for everyone to be going on holidays cause it's like the middle of the year.. I'm going away towards the end of May and the begining of June to England, Ireland, Paris and Wales... which reminds me.. how has the whether been there? what kind of clothes do I pack. It's almost winter here and we're wearing jeans and t-shirts (though it is quite cold today! I think it's about 18^Celcius!).. I'm guessing it's getting hotter there now? Oh and on our way back to Australia we're stopping off at Singapore (which I hear gets very hot this time of year) so I'm guessing I should just pack my whole wardrobe to be safe:confused:

[Steve]

Hi Jess,That would be a good idea to pack everything because we had a very warm day yesterday which was 18-20 celsius.I think you may find it quite cold over here if you think 18 is cold in Aus. That is a nice day in Wales. Unfortunately it is raining again now 9-15 am sunday.Thats british weather for you though.Still ,its about 30 degrees in Florida at the moment and I cant wait,only 15 days to go.See you soon. :rubberduc :mama:

[Jen]

Jess don’t forget to pack an umbrella, pretty much an essential ‘fashion accessory’ here in Wales :)

Is that really how warm it is this time of year? It will b warmer in June when i go then,Phew :rubberduc

[Steve]

Yes . It was up near the 100's for the same 2 weeks last year. :rubberduc

[Steve]

Yahoo! Our tickets have just arrived. Really feels like were going now> :rubberduc

[mouse boy]

Ive been to Florida a few times myself and I love it there.Esspecially the shopping at the end of the holiday.(If you have any money left that is) :)

[dawn breaks]

Yahoo! Our tickets have just arrived. Really feels like were going now> :rubberduc Great news. I hope 2 b getting mine shortly as well...Who r u flying with Steve?

[mouse boy]

Ive been with Britannia,Caledonian,Monarch,British Airways and Virgin. The last 2 were by far the best.The first 3 I thought were pants.

[Jess]

I totally hadn't even thought about taking an umbrella, Thanks Jen! (and i wouldn't want to look like a dork without an umbrella would i?!?!) Oh, that's a good excuse to buy a new umbrella, better be safe and just get a plain black one.


Have you gone yet Sandra?! I hope I haven't missed you already..

Jess

[Jess]

Mouse Boy, what does..

..I thought were pants.

..mean? You's have such funny sayings, just wish I could understand them lol

Jess

[Jen]

If something is pants, then it is no good, rotten, plain pathetic. :)

[Sandra]

no Jess I'm still here, we travel next Monday (16th).

Apparantly I'm pants at bowling

[Steve]

As useful as a pair of under pants.PANTS

[Jess]

Oh, glad I haven't missed you's yet.. I'll send you an email tomorrow (hopefully if I remember lol) I've got something very special to give you when I visit!!

I got that "pants" was not a good thing, it's still strange to me though lol.. funny stuff.. I wonder if I start saying it here if it would spread around, or if people would just look at me funny :confused: probably best not to tamper with that one..

ooh, I gotta get some vegemite to take over too! thanks for reminding me.. hey steve "he just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwitch" hehee:neener2:

[Steve]

and you said originally that you had never heard that song.Its a classic Aussie anthem. Not Pants at all that one.See you soon
