SARAHS' MONKEY MADNESS
Oh my god! I just spent an hour and a half writing my newest journal and it timed out before it saved! I'm so annoyed! What a waste of time! So I have decided to type into word and then copy and paste!
Anyhoooo! HELLO again! Most of you will know but for those that don't, Tom flew out to meet me in Florida (woo hoo) we had the most amazing time and managed to fit in everything we wanted to do in a week so that's a bonus! God I feel like a parrot!
Ok so the trip didn't start off on a good foot with me at all! Firstly, I was booked onto a train to get up to Orlando that was meant to set off at 6.50am and get in at 12.15pm so that I could wait at the train station to be picked up by Tom and our car when he arrived. But as luck would have it my train was firstly delayed and didn't set off until 8.15am as a there had been a train derailment on the line somewhere! So the train went really really slow - infact if I had been in a better mood at this point it would have actually been quicker to jog to Orlando! Secondly, as it began to reach 1.15pm people started to realize that we were a long way from Orlando and as there had been no announcements of being delayed people started to get agitated! People started shouting and throwing tantrums and children were screeching and shouting stuff like "We want Disney, We want Disney" It was total mayhem and as peoples phones weren't working nobody including me could contact anyone to say that we were delayed! So when I finally got there I wasn't in the bestest of moods! But once I saw Tom waiting I cheered up instantly! And luckily he had only been waiting half an hour so not too bad at all! So we finally got to the hotel and it was perfect! Great location, two minutes walking distance to Old Town Kissimmee so lots of shops, supermarkets, bars, restaurants etc... The room was mediocre but all we really needed! We also had a heated pool which we only made use of once but I think that's because I told Tom that the railings around it were to stop crocodiles getting in! haha! Our first night consisted of looking around the shops and going for an Italian which I must say was lovely jubbly! As Tom was starting to hallucinate and was looking really tired we decided it would be best to have an early night and make plans for the week the following day.
After having a lovely sleep in we went for an all you can eat breakfast! The food was amazing! Everything you could think of! Even Ice Cream and Jelly! Strange!! We then went for a waddle around the outlet centre as Tom needed some shorts etc... I was quite surprised at how small it was and actually how cheap the prices WERENT! But we had plenty of exercise walking around and around in circles for about 5 hours and by the end of the day our legs were totally broken! That night we went into the town for a mooch about and saw that there was actually a bike rally on! We had a look around and when we finally realized we were actually holding each other up and our legs weren't actually working properly we decided to go to bed! It was hilarious and to other people they would have actually thought we were drunk as skunks but we weren't!
The following day we decided to get up early and go to Disneys Animal Kingdom. This place was awesome! We saw lots of animals, went on lots of rides (except the big ones because Tom is a chicken!) and we strolled about all day! The funniest part of the day was when we went to see Bugs Life 4D it was so funny I cried with laughter all the way through! It will be awesome if one day we can have interactive films like that in our front rooms! We then qued for ages for the river rapids and it actually only lasted seconds (literally) we were gutted but much cooler from getting soaked! Its also quite cool how children find it hilarious to dance about in water and drive there parents insane! So we left the park about 5.30pm to get back to the shuttle bus on time for 6.50pm and we actually got there for 6.15pm so we sat around and waited for half an hour and the decided to go get on the bus! Only to discover I had got the times wrong and the bus had actually left at 6.15pm! Tom then proceded in beating me up and ridiculing me but never mind it actually worked out fine because we found out how to get the normal public bus too and from our hotel so it meant that we didn't have to rely on our shuttle every day!
So that night we went down to Old Town again and went for pizza! And like oh my god!!!! The pizza was the bestest pizza in the world! However there was far too much so we got it boxed up for breakfast! YUMMY! We then watched the car rally leaving- much to Toms delight! And then because our legs were still broked we managed to almost crawl home! Our legs were so painful that we decided to have a day of rest the following day and we went for a walk and then pitched a place in a great little bar and drank all day and got drunk! This was actually one of my favorite days it was soo lovely!
The next day we went to Typhoon Lagoon which is one of Disneys waterparks! This water park was so cool! We went on lots of cool slides and went on the lazy river a few times and Tom got burnt! We then went in the dreaded wave pool! Which, if you new me is the worst place to take me! But anyway I plucked up courage and went in but not so deep! There were young children in deeper so I guessed it would be ok! We had a few waves which were quite large but nothing too bad so Tom persuaded me to go in deeper! I only agreed because he said he would hold onto me and I wouldn't have to face the wave! So all is good until BOSH the biggest wave of the day came out! It must have been about 8ft tall and wiped me out! Needless to say once I'd stopped choking, pulled my bottoms back up and stopped drowning I escaped from the pool as quick as my legs would move! How the hell children managed to stay in there I don't know! Children were floating about everywhere haha!
The next day we went to Universal Studios which we didn't get to until the afternnon because we had a really long sleep in! But it actually worked out really well because we managed to dodge the ques and we were able to see everything in the park! Tom felt slightly green after the back to the future ride but he soon recovered and we went for a lovely meal at the Hard Rock Café.
On our last day we decided to chill out for the day and then go to Pleasure Island for a night out! We went went down about three o clock and had a stroll around the shops of Downtown Disney and then we went for a meal at Planet Hollywood! Then after a few too many cocktails, a bit of dancing and five clubs later we bartered with taxi drivers to get home, got checkers and collapsed into bed! The next morning we were getting picked up at 11am and oh my god did I feel ill! NEVER mix drinks! We had just enough time to get some breakfast from Burger King and have a look around the shops and then it was time to go! Tom left his passport in the room and realized just as we set off! I was GUTTED! I could have had him here for a few more weeks! Luckily he found it though so no problems! I was then dropped off at the train station and was a very sad monkey indeed! I decided to upgrade my ticket to sleeping class so I could sleep all the way home! The trains are amazing! My own room with bed, toilet, sink reclining chairs, chess board, waiter service and lunch included! What a treat haha! So now I'm finally back in Miami! My last 5 days here before leaving for LA which I'm so excited about! So anyways this thing is long enough now but If I think of anything else I will update!
