Orlando

[FF_Mark]

Don't know if you want to see any pics, but I'm sure the guys & girls that have been will recognise some of the sites

Elaine had a great time with the dolphins and it was a dream come true for her, as I think the picture shows by her face.






Can't remember what the car was we had, but it was a nice change.







and just a few pics from different places.










and this was the view from our room. (the pic below, not the one above, LOL)





It was 31c yesterday in Orlando, roll on next year

Re: Orlando

Was the car a Chrysler Sebring?
Kennedy Space Centre is a cool place, but prob. a little subdued @ present.
When we went there a few years back a shuttle was ready to go on the launch pad (31a?), and security was very tight.
I went to Sea World's home in San Diego, California.
The power of the Killer Whales is awesome.
Nice photos

Re: Orlando

We were just sitting back far enough, not to get wet, the people a couple of rows in front got mega wet

[Sharon]

Re: Orlando

Re: Orlando

Yeah the dolphins and killer whales are great, we did the "Dine with Shamu" meal this time, was really cool, they had Tilikum in the pool he is the biggest killer whale in captivity, swims right up to where you are sitting, these pics were taken leaning over the barrier from our table with no zoom.



And this was him giving us a soaking from up close in the stadium later.

Re: Orlando

That looks cool mark can the kids do the dine with Shamu? would like to do that next time

I know Morgan kept asking us if the whales where real they are just so big

Re: Orlando

Sharon,

No problem with the kids dining there they will love it, food is good too, buffet style and all you can eat/drink including wine or beer, so whoever isn't driving is in for a good time, the splash pics were taken just afterwards at the night time show which is a bit different to the day ones and well worth a look.
There are quite a few places we can reccomend to try this time that you didn't get to do last year.

Re: Orlando

Yeah I think we need pointing in the right direction of where to go of an evening mainly...didnt go out much in the evening last time as I wasnt feeling to clever Clint was looking forward to eating out all the time but I couldnt even look at food while I was out there We did have a steak while we was out there and that was out of this world

Re: Orlando

Yeah the choice of restaurants is mind boggling, there are still hundreds I haven't tried, but have been to a few excellent ones.
We had a Indian over there on this visit, and it was without doubt the very best Indian we have ever had, and there were no unpleasant after effects the next day.
The Chinese food there is also unbelievably good, much better than at home, and the steaks we often go to Outback (there are a couple here now as well) and they are excellent there, but there are a few others we can point you at too.
