News from Florida
Hello everyone! I'm here in Florida, typing this up on my grandparents' ancient laptop. I'm going to see if I can get my laptop hooked up sometime tomorrow; as this thing is really quite slow.
What am I complaining for? :p I get to be online and writing this! Yay!
Oh, I am having a great time here in Florida. The house we rented is great and It's very nice not to have any real obligations.
Yeah, okay. Starting from the beginning. :)
We got up to Hartford at around 12:00 on Thursday night, and I got maybe four hours of sleep before we left to go to the airport. We got all of our bags checked and loaded on the plane, and then we boarded for the one hour flight to Baltimore.
It was my first time flying, and I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't a little nervous. At first I unconsciously added a track under the plane, which made it seem much like a roller coaster. After a while, though, the surreal nature of everything outside made that utterly unnecessary. I slept through most of that first flight, not having gotten much the nights previous.
We got off in Baltimore, and then went to another plane for the two hours flight to Orlando, Florida. I wound up playing games on my laptop and reading for most of that flight. Flash games have been my savior for long boring events recently.
So, we landed in Orlando and were picked up by my grandparents. They had rented a car, but there we were still very hard-pressed to fit into the two vehicles. We went to a condominium that my grandparents were staying in. We stayed there for a night and then moved into this house.
We went to Magic Kingsom yesterday. It was a good time, only slightly deluged by rain. :p I went on Space Mountain, a little tour guide ride (twice), and Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin. I kicked major butt on that ride. :p Each little pod has two little laser guns and a toggle switch on it. As the ride progresses, you shoot these badguy robots to get points. The scores for the rest of my family ranged from around 27,000 to about 157,000, I think.
I scored 622,800. The number is engraved upon my skull. :p I demolished everyone else's scores. I guess all of those times at laser tag paid off. Heh, yay! Laser tag helped me get a high schore on another laser tag thing! ^_^;;
The rain dampened things a bit. (ha...ha...) I went to the the Philharmagic 3D show, which was totally great. ^___^ Donald Duck sort of flew through various Disney movies causing a ruckus. Good fun, heh.
We went home and swam in the screened-in pool that came with our rented house. It was warmer than most showers I take. :p So I spent a while swimming, and then watched Anger Management on my laptop with my cousins.
Today I spent mostly lounging about the house, recovering from my late night last night, and the night before, and walking around Magic Kingdom. I went and played mini golf later in the day, and came in second behind my dad. His score was 42, mine was 49. Par was 40 for the course.
I have to admit that I was surprised at the result after that 6 I got on the very first hole... :p
So, yeah. I don't now what I'm doing tomorrow, but I'll try my very hardest to get back on and update again.
See you all again soon, I miss you all lots! :D
