Orlando Day 1

Well three strikes your out is the saying that goes, and today I met all three strikes. It started last night when we decided that booking a hotel room or two would be important for our vacation. We stayed up until 2am doing this. We woke up again at 4am to leave for the airport. We got rooms and a rental car though. After the gathering we will be goign to Daytona Beach for four days then back to Orlando for three days. We are very excited about this!





So here's how the strikes worked out. 1. Get in a taxi. Tell the driver where to take us. Go past the hotel. Tell driver, "um, I think it's back there on the left". Driver keeps driving. Tell driver, "you need to turn around, it was back there on the left". Have driver say, 'I only charge you $38 since I go to far.'





Strike 2a: Arrive at hotel. Sarah's room isn't ready. Chrissy's is. Go to Chrissy's room. Meet Chrissy's roommate, Sarah. Go to Pizza Hut for lunch. Leave Pizza Hut....without the leftover pizza. Go back to hotel. Strike 2b: Sarah's hotel room still isn't ready.





Strike 3: Get on elevator to go back to Chrissy's room. Enter five people who don't speak English. Say "what a cute baby!" Elevator stops at floor 4, man gets off, door closes, elevator does nothing. Door opens, elevator is between floors 4 and 5, door closes. Five people panic. Chrissy calls emergency number in elevator "Um, we're stuck in the elevator" "Okay, between which floors?" "4 and 5" "we come get you out". Wait................text those I love (Sorry mom and dad, you need to invest in text messaging)......wait..........get rescued from elevator.





After all that we went back to Chrissy's room and took a nap. By 5 my room was ready and I had a roommate, whose name escapes me right now. We're off to City Walk for the night.

I'm so glad that you got there safe and finally have a hotel room!! I will keep up with your blog and try not to envy you while I lay by the pool in Littleton...while you lay on THE BEACH!!!

IF you happen to bump into Ryan while you are there make sure you remind him to shower and um, drink water. Men need a little help.

Glad you got the "3 strike" stuff out of the way so you can finally have fun! Tell my first born son "hello" if you see him! I am sure he is having the time of his life!
