Day Two - It's been a hard day's night (8)

It’s been a Hard Day’s night.

And I’ve been working like a dog. We were rudely awoken after the WORST nights sleep ever, well if you can even call it that considering I didn’t shut my eyes. At 4 AM, feeling like the walking dead we were up and the torture didn’t stop there.

Huge queues in the airport and 3 hours of waiting for a flight almost killed all of us. Theres only so much of the manchester accent I can take before I start going insane. The pain can be compared, if you watch big brother, to thousands of Corins EVERYWHERE. But nonetheless we fought on through the noise, had an amazing buffet breakfast, about the only good thing to have come out of our trip to Manchester.

The plane journey itself was... bearable. 9 hours and 20 minutes is a hell of a long time to do nothing, yet that’s what I did. I can never sleep on a plane so had to endure the little kids that surrounded me but I made it to America with almost an entire sudoku book completed and 2 more of my Sherlock Holmes’ scripts completed. I did feel a sense of achievement.

The most awkward thing was being lost in a hire car that your dad doesn’t know how to drive, when the sat nav doesn’t know where you’re going. It took 2 hours for a 45 minute journey including plenty of sightseeing and toll booths, one of which could come back to haunt us as we didn’t pay.

But we did eventually make it here to The Caribe Cove, which is new hence the reason very few people knew of it. It's located in Kissimmee and is really close to all the local attractions so I have no doubt we'll be out and about a lot which means plenty to talk about. Unlimited free use of internet, gym, pool and DVDs make this IDEAL for me. I have already made use of all the facilities and have not been disappointed.

Then finally a meal at my FAVOURITE place to eat EVER. Tony Roma’s on International Drive.

Having been to Florida, staying just up the road about 4 years ago now, I have very fond memories of the place, but none quite so as this place. They are a chain restaurant with a branch in kingston, but it’s not the same. Full racks of ribs with their amazing chips and their luxurious BBQ sauce that will give your taste buds an orgasm. Highly recommended should you want to come out here.

Trust me, come here, you’ll love it!!! I say this on the condition I’m coming with you :)
