With some planning the night before we were up early enough to leave the house by 10:15 to go to Disney Hollywood Studios. Typically the sun had actually come out this morning unlike every other morning which we had spent by the pool which had been cloudy. Ah well off to the most indoor theme park there is! Once we collected Allen & Ellen's tickets we were able to make fast pass arrangements. Our first stop was the Great Movie ride looking back at some clas...

With no set plans for the morning as we waited for Ellen & Allen to arrive I pottered around in the pool listening to music for about four hours, desperately hoping for a break in the clouds. It threatened at times but it was not forthcoming. We all had sandwiches for lunch outside on what was gearing up for a relaxed slow day. Once the Henches arrived we spent some time chatting in the living room & booked dinner. Around 16:30 we began the journey over...

Our did not disappoint. Memory is a funny thing. I always remember the Florida Mall as being...

I was up early so decided it was best to start the day off with a run & explore the local area. There isn't much around us apart from houses. I came out our gated community and ran up & down the community next door. Just over 3miles in the intense heat was enough for me. Back at the villa with heavy cloud cover I wasn't sure what to do with myself. With the promise of nicer weather later in the day I decided to walk to Publix around 40 minutes away to gr...
