We had a great idea...lets travel by road the week between Christmas and just after New Years....Who's "great" idea was that again? HMMMM...guess we both have to take the hit on this one.
We love to drive and travel versus the stress of airlines. Off we were first thing on 12/26/08. Stopped at our favorite place to eat when traveling...Cracker Barrell. Two and half hours later...oatmeal and scrambled eggs....we are off with a slight irritation.
We we got to North Carolina and the fun began. By the time we got through NC and SC we had lost 3 hours from the stopped and go traffic...some people weren't sure what was next (even after 200 miles of it)...go ... no stop...no go....crap they hit the guy in front of them.
Finally we get into Florida and check into a "nice" motel. After carrying our bags to the room and dodging the white trash screaming match and blood curdling screams we were "safely" in bed. Needless to say we were up VERY early and off to the in laws for a visit.
Did some fun stuff while we were there (Billies Swamp Safari in the Everglades, time at the beach and some visiting).
New Years Eve we are off to the "resort" for a "relaxing" three days.
Arrive at Caribe Royale Resort....2 hours later our room is finally "clean" and ready...its now 3pm..
Went to the new TRex restaraunt for our New Years Eve dinner and then walked around Downtown Disney. Heading back to the resort a Cadillac decides from the far right lane he needs to do a U turn and go back Westbound. All I remember is saying what the *&^% and slamming on the brakes, swerving and Melisa's blood curdling screams. Somehow, someway I missed him and crapped myself at the same time. Devine intervention.
You say how can all this happen on one trip....Oh I'm not done yet.
After the neighbor above us return from there night out it souns like a race track running from one end of their suite and back, jump up and down on the beds and do it all over again for an hour before I said not so nice stuff to the lady at the front desk and minutes later it stopped.
I managed to get a head cold in the middle of all of this so I'm pretty run down to begin with. The weather goes from 75 to 65 so no pool time which is what we had planned. We end up leaving one day early to come home because we had had just too much fun already.
We have now been introduced to the state of GA at 20 to 40 miles an hour for 2 hours...yes 2 hours.
We are now home and safely on my couch. Lets just hope the 2009 I was hoping for is better than this "vacation".
