Vacation time in Florida with my family
Saturday we leave in the family van. My wife, son, parents, brother, niece and nephew. My laptop will double as a DVD player on the way down, and we got a portable VCR in a bag for the kids. We are going to the Orlando area, Disney and Universal theme parks, maybe Kenedy Space Center.
I am still getting sick and throwing up, my wife thinks it is a allergy infection. Not sure what Florida will do to me, maybe make it worse or better? I am falling behind in my work, because I installed Fedora Core 1 Linux to prove that I could. I am going to have to write two papers before I go or on the way down there. One for this coming class and one for the next class after that. Either that or work on them in the hotel. I hope to have dial-up, I got the SBC access numbers for down there if the hotel lets me make a phone call and doesn't charge me out the arse for it. :)
I think Box lives down there, but I haven't talked to him in a while. Not sure if he lives near that area. I'll be there for a week.

if you havnt made reservations yet
I would suggest the residence inn on international drive a little older so pricing is reasonable. It also has a kitchen and supermarkets are not far away so you can avoid restaurants. I live 95 miles southwest of orlando in the tampa bay area if you want a beach day take Interstate 4 west until it turns into interstate 275 then follow the signs for clearwater. Finest beach in Florida. However it is spring break so be warned traffic will be vile. Enjoy florida. dont leave any money in you wallet :-)
thanx,

Thanks we have a timeshare condo
my parents own one too. So we will have a nice place to stay. We had to reserve it in advance. It has a full kitchen, so no takeout food and we will save money.

Seconded
I would suggest the residence inn on international drive I've stayed there. Good place. Crap pool. But it's walking distance to several attractions. Is the upside down building still there? -----------------------------------------

Because it is easier to give someone the finger than it is to give them a helping hand.

I'll be there all next week, too.
Flying out monday for a software conference, staying at the [link|http://www.sheratonsafari.com/|Sheraton Safari] because that's where the conference is :) Don't know yet if I'll have any free time, though...I'll post back to this thread if I think I might get some time to hook up.

We made it
visited Seaworld today. Had fun, lots of sun, I got sunburn but otherwise it was great.
Time to go to the store and buy more food, and stuff, later.

I am back now
I think we went to the beaches on the other side of Florida. I got sand in my eyes from my 5-year-old kicking sand while I was lying down, and from a strong wind that blew sand everywhere. I had to get eyewash to flush my eyes out. I was almost blind and my vision was very blurry. Daytona beach, or one of them, East side of Florida. I am home and doing better now.
