Vacation to Orlando.
There because got a "deal" on a tryout of a timeshare. Otherwise really not where I wanted to go. Warm but didn't want to go to Disney.

Good things:
1. Enjoyed playing the recorder with Ty in the car on the way down.
2. Marco Polo, etc at the one hotel we stayed at the first night.
3. Really liked the mystery dinner with the British theme.
4. Enjoyed my run in the abandoned amusement park (Splendid China).
5. Gatorland was ...ok.
6. Enjoyed playing ping pong with Ty.
7. Enjoyed roughhousing with Ru.
8. The Haunted House at Disney was really nice.
9. Had a nice really fast run. Wonder if the lower altitude played a role, although on the negative, my back was bothering me during it.
10. Savannah, Georgia was very nice.
11. No fights with sister or mother!

Things I didn't care for.
1. Disneyland for the most part. Big load of way overpriced crap. But at least my wife figured out fast pass and app for line waits. That made it much better.
2. The timeshare was basically crap. Not even counting the 3 hour hard sale gauntlet.
3. How incredibly slow my sister/one nephew were at Disney. Spent so much time just standing and waiting.
4. Ate a lot of awful gloopy / cheesy swill.
5. Was quite cold most of the time. Next year gotta go further south.
6. Didn't get adequate time for writing/just relaxing.
7. Slight migraine on return trip.
