I know, this isn't the harley. But another vacation in the works

Last year we were given a time share to use for a week.  okay thought this will be fun now were to go.

Well we decided on heading to Florida.  I know not much of a place to go when you have a free time share to use.  That is were we decided though.

Get to see disney and the wild kingdom and a few other places in the vacinity.  Sounds pretty good to me.

So we called up the friend that is giving us the time share and said what place looked good.  Well he booked it for us and now the work begins.

I have to make sure our passports are up to date.  Check sent them off yesterday as they have just run out.  Great.  Now to get flights down there.  Lets see to make this a kinda cheep holiday lets look at my airmiles account.  OH!!! great I have a bunch so now will have to start getting the tickets for that.  Time now has to be spent on the phone seeing if I can get flights out at that time with my airmiles.  Another day to do that. lets see what else is there to do.  Oh yeah.  can we get from the airport to this time share we are staying at.  I have e-mails off to the place we are staying.  The only problem is they are not getting back to me.  Come on, the airport is at least a few miles away from the time share.  Great!  I don't really want to rent a car. So I guess a taxi will be in order if I don't get an answer back as to whether there is shuttle service.

Disney and epcot are about two miles away from were we are staying.  That is going to be a long walk for either of us just to wander around the theme park.  Oh my aching feet already.  I know it will be fun but I am not much on the walking part any more.  I use to walk miles now I walk feet before I feel like sitting down.  Well at least wild kingdom is close by.  Oh yeah that reminds me I have to get tickets here to be able to get into the theme parks without paying an arm and a leg to get in.

The place we are staying it sleeps 6 people.  And it is only the two of us.  we could have a different bed to sleep in every night and feel like we were moving around from resort to resort.  Funny hey! 

So now get this all figured out and then just wait for March to come around.  After a winter in the rain it should feel good to get into some sun for a week or two.

Wel time to get busy on this.  So no more talking about a vacation.  and get down to business.
