As I failed to mention before I left, I went to Orlando, Florida on my spring break! We just got back last night and boy was it a trip.

On our way over, we had to rush to get to thie first airport, and to the second ariport, only to find in both cases that our flights were delayed! I almost forgave the second delay, as the pilot had a personal emergency that he had to rush off to (I suspect someone went into labor or a family member died) leaving us stuck with an hour delay to board, and then the new pilot took so long to get there that we were sitting in an idle airplane for two hours!!! When we finally took off, it wasn't long before I was geting really sick, but no worries, because we landed in Orlando just before I would have had a problem, incredibley good timing.

Once we were on the ground and we had established our footing on solid ground at ten o'clock in the evening, I found myself victim to the blistering southern heat. (I later realised that it wasn't really that hot but I was having a stress attack) And when we got to the room, it wasn't the one we had RESERVED, and it had a bunk bed with the most firghtening renditions of 1960s 1970s cartoon characters E-V-E-R!!!!!! As it turns out, they had given our RESERVED room away to another customer. Paired with this, the stress of the day, and me not wanting to go in the first place, I had a meltdown, it was bad, not getting into it beyond that.

Day two got better, and from there on I didn't really have any problems as bad as that. My attitude changed and I felt a lot better about being there. The rest of the trip shall not be in chronilogical order but in the order that I find fit meh heh heh! So, I went to Torrid in the Florida Mall, which is the most awesome plus sized store I have ever been in!!! Honestley, I don't have to dress like an old lady anymore! The prices were a little steep, but like other specialty plus sized stores, they have a very nice size change on many of their clothing items. Overall, a very nice visit!

We also attended Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure (I.o.A. so I don't have to write it over and over again) First up was I.o.A, we got there early in the morning, a mere five minutes after opening time, there were no lines at the time, and we got right in. The Hulk roller coaster was great, although I don't think that it lasted long enough. Spiderman's 3D Adventure thing was AWESOME!!!! It is one of the coolest things I have ever experienced, and you really feel as if the characters are right there with you. From the Marvel island we went to Toon Lagoon, wich is so neat! There are all sorts of characters around and there are old cartoon quotes all over the area. I went on Popeye and Bluto's Bilge Rat Barges (long name I know) and all I have to say is that it is awesome but it is WET!!! Nothing about this ride is dry, the sighn says that you may get soaked, but there is no question about it you WILL get SOAKED!!!! I spent a whole bunch of time just wringing my hair out, but I love Popeye, so all is forgiven. I didn't do much on the Jurassic Park island, so there's nothing to say there, along with Seuss Landing, but the Deuling Dragons ride on the Lost Continent was fabulous. The whole park was very well keps, engaging, and very nicley decorated, it gets very hgh marks from me.

Universal was a different story altogether for me. The new Simpson's ride which was supossed to be so great really wasn't in my opinion, although it was slightly amusing, the whole thing was a little lame. The whole park was like this in fact, and it stayed surprisingly empty for quite a long time. The Terminatior 3D show was terrible, I actually regret seeing it. Even a performance by the Blues Brothers didn't make up for any of this. The only really cool part of the whole thing was the Revenge of the Mummy ride. It was absoloutley amazing, everything about it except the long and rather confusing line was incredible, one of the best rides of the entire trip.

The fly back was nice, even enjoyable with no delays and plenty of time between flights. Overall, Orlando turned out to be a very nice city, if a little fake, and the trip was wonderful.




And for the few, if any people who read this long speel about my vacation, thank you and I apologize if you eyes have shriveled and fallen out of your head die to the immense length of my entry. Thank you and good night.
