On Our Way

After spending a busy, but relaxing day at home, most of it at the pool....we're in Orlando and ready to start our adventure.   The Hampton Inn and Suites on 436 at Gateway Village is beautiful.  We have a really nice suite...wish we were spending more than a few hours in it!

Front desk gave us a coupon for a free appetizer at Carrabba's, which is right in front of the hotel, so we wandered over, ordered some delicious bruschetta and had a few drinks.  What a beautiful night, sitting under the stars....or, if you prefer, the 747's taking off from MCO...and a great way to start our vacation.

Just set our alarm for 4:45am.  Is there really such a time in the A.M.?   Have to catch the 5 am shuttle to the airport for our 7:10 am flight to Seattle.  Ugghhhh...going to very a long day tomorrow  :(  We'll be on planes most of the day...expecting to land in Fairbanks at 5:17pm ADT which will be 9:17 pm EDT.  We'll just pray for a nice smooth flight and good movies to watch.  The best part will be we'll meet Chris & Kim in Seattle and fly the rest of the way with them.  Lots to catch up on...haven't seen them since August.
