Oh so much to recap! Let's start with I went away for 4 days/3 nights to Fla. I left Thursday morning.......had chaos at JFK...........rode down on the same plane with the guy who plays 'Rex' on OLTL. Got to the airport with no problem & then went off for the day. I finally got to eat at Sonic. I am so tired of seeing their commercials and not having one local to try out. It was interesting, to say the least. There is no other way to order your food except to use the voicebox thingy. I had a burger....pretty good....and a cherry-limeade drink. Yummy! I wish we had Sonic here just for that drink.
I then went off to the Mall where I found the most awesome birthday shirt and bought it for myself. Then I pulled out a map & went house & townhome hunting. I found gorgeous homes all affordable. The only problem is that they are in Fla and I'd be 100% alone.
That night I went to Universal's Citywalk. It's a more 'adult' Disney Marketplace. I ate at Margaritaville & had a fantastic Coco Cabana dirnk. Some pineappley/coconutty drink that was good. I checked in to the hotel at 11pm & crashed.
Friday brought a trip to Epcot, meeting up with Dad, who was there on business, and some good rides & food. That night I went to the 'Priate & Princess Party' and rode the rides & got candy & jewelry by following a treasure map. So so cute.
Saturday & went to the Magic Kingdom where I picked up my birthday button that I wore throughout the park. My brother came down the night before, so he joined me fo rthis. we then went house huntng again & found more beautiful complexes. Ah--have to really think about this. We ate a late dinner at this cute place called bahama Breeze where I had fantastic coconut shrimp and a pineapple/coconut martini that I wish they could have put in a sippy cup for me to dirnk the rest of the night. It was amazing.
Sunday was busy but sad. We went to two more parks and then did some shopping & went back to the airport to come home. Getting back to NY was nearly impossible. OUr plane was to have taken off at 6:30 and arrive home at 9pm. We find out it's delayed in taking off by 1/2 an hour. They board us & say they'll still have us home by 9. well, the flight was smoth ubtil 9 rolled around and we weren't on the ground. The pilot comes on the speaker at 9:30 to say that JFK had us in a holdng pattern for 45 minutes and needs us to stay that way for anotehr 45 minutes. We have no fuel & have to land in Philly so we can refuel and fly in.
We finally land at JFK nearly midnight & it then akes almost another hour to get the bags. I can't stand that airport. I rolled in sometime before 2am to be up & teaching by 8:30.
It was a crazy but so well worth it trip!
