Well, it is that time of the week again, already!
I plunked my finger down on the U.S. page of our world atlas and landed in Florida, once again! Now, Florida is a pretty skinny state, so my finger pretty much covered it all. I decided to just pick Orlando. It was between that and Fort Lauderdale.
But, as my last post reflects, I am in the mood to reconnect with my childhood lately. And Disneyworld in Orlando was definitely a childhood trip I remember taking. It could have something to do with the fact that I got lost for several hours in Epcot and nearly destroyed my parents with worry. But, I choose to think that it was Mickey, Cinderella, and Space Mountain that made such an indelible impression!
I would love to go back there sometime (preferably during a weekday in February, so there wouldn’t be hordes of people) and play at Disneyworld, Epcot, and Universal Studios. However, I have a feeling that there are more things to do in Orlando than theme parks.
It is a sunny city with beautiful beaches. The Gulf Islands are close by and beckoning and they are supposed to have a great science center in Orlando. I will just have to book a hotel and find out what it is all about.
Anyone have some good suggestions?

I just can’t seem to get into the whole Disney Land craze. I know it’s lots of fun and kids love it…but I’d so rather go explore a national park or Europe or an island…
