To get to Boca Raton, we first got the greyhound to west palm beach then waited there, enjoying the views for an hour then got the tri-rail past Fort Lauderdale to Boca Raton. We had decided to stay here for two reasons: 1. It was a lot cheaper accommodation than Fort Lauderdale and 2. It was much closer to the Irish pub Danny's aunt and uncle owned- who we were planning to visit. It was quite a trek in boiling heat from the tri-rail station to the hotel but once...

We arrived in orlando quite late. Sonja picked us up at the station then we went straight to Gabby's apartment, where all four of us had a Chinese takeaway. The next day we went shopping at premium outlets mall first, which hadn't changed much since i'd been there when I was younger.

We were up at 7.30am, skipped breakfast and headed straight for the old post office, an amazing building in which the surrounding area was particularly busy due to a charity run/walk event. We wondered through and kept going towards the far end of the mall, starting at th...
