I was lying tucked up in my bed, sound asleep, blankets tightly round me and over my head when the alarm clock started banging away like a cheerlea … well it was making a lot of noise. I pulled the pillows tighter, the last thing I wanted to do was get up, put on 20 layers of clothing, teeter down the icy pathway and battle the thick ice on my windshield to start the perilous and exhausting drive to work. KAPOW!!! Suddenly the 4th of July exploded in my head and I sprung out of bed … I don’t have to do any of that. I can throw on a vest, some shorts and my Crocs … I LIVE IN FLORIDA!!!! It was all just a bad dream.
If you have never come here, then you are missing out. Visiting Orlando should be on everyone’s Top 10 List Of Things To Do Before I Die. You should ditch those winter togs and get over here as soon as possible. To those of you who say … “I have already been there (insert years here) ago. Been there, seen it, bought the T-shirt. I don’t need to come back.” I say … PHOOEEEYYYY!!!! This town changes on a daily basis … I just picked up the new “Brit’s Guide to Orlando” and even the most cursory scan told me there were hundreds of things I hadn’t even heard of, and I’ve been here for 14 years. “It’s different when you live in a place, you obviously just take things for granted and don’t try and do as much as we do when we come on vacation,” I hear you mutter. My reply to you is … “a 3 year old son!” My son is an attraction nut already. Last night on TV the ads ran for Grinchmas and the Macy’s Parade at Universal and we now have to go there this weekend. We even visited a toy train museum last week, who knew that was right there on I-Drive!
I love Orlando … it’s the coolest hot place on Earth! … Come and see why.
