Holiday

So, it's been a month since I last posted (1 day off a month exactly) and I went on Holiday for 2 weeks.

The flight there was ok, the Seat wasn't as bad as say a Bus or a Train, so I had some room. I tried to watch a film but the picture cut out half way through, so i've got to watch the film some other time already knowing the first half... Kept myself busy but was a bit bored.

Orlando was great, not sure what else to say really! Went to lots of theme parks, and despite people's comments of "There is too much to do in 1 trip" we pretty much did it all. Went to all 4 Disney parks, both the Universal ones, Sea World, Busch Gardens and Wet and Wild. Went on a large amount of rollercoasters, got wet on alot of Rapids and Log flumes, and saw a whole host of 3D shows, even ones called 4D but I didn't find they moved through time apart from the normal linear way.

If I had to make some highlights of stuff, rides specifically I'd do it like this (in no particular order)
  • Haunted House at Disney Magic Kingdom, done really well and thought it was great.
  • Kracken at Sea World, brilliant rollercoaster.
  • Bilge Rat Barges at Islands of Adventure, Best Rapids i've ever been on.
  • Spiderman at Islands of Adventure, 3D Ride, which was great.
  • Fireworks at Disney Epcot, best fireworks I saw all holiday.
  • Fantasmic (or something like that...) at Disney Hollywood Studios, brilliant show
  • Tower of Terror at Disney Hollywood Studios, looks good, and it's better than it looks.
  • The Mummy Ride at Universal Studios, great.

And that's just off the top of my head.

I found a Dickies shop and spent around £100 in there, and also bought a whole host of Tshirts from places, nothing with say Mickey Mouse on it, but stuff like the Punisher. So I now have a load more clothes to wear which is always good.

I had a great time and would go again, although I'd rather go somewhere else since I'd like to go somewhere new rather than the same places i've already been :p

Catherine has decided she'll go on Holiday with her best friend next year, so I have the option of saving the same amount I have been for this holiday, for another one in 2 years, and if I do save at the same rate I'd have around £7000, but no doubt some of that will go on long weekends away, and more importantly a new shiny really good PC.
