Florida so far

We have arrived safely in Florida. When we got to Denver airport Monday we were greeted with the news that there would probably be upwards of 6 hours delay because of fog in Houston. Luckily, we had the nicest ticket agent in the world who quickly called another airline to see if there were three tickets to the direct flight to Orlando leaving an hour later. Lucky for us, there were. So instead of a whole day of travel, we landed down at 4 pm and were by the hotel by five. FABULOUS!

Since being here we have already visited the outlet mall, gone swimming in the pools, gone to the beach, and gone for a gator cruise, but no gator sightings. We've spent lots of time with Thijs and his girlfriend, Christyl. Tonight we will be having dinner with Christyl's entire (extended) family. We don't know yet how many people are coming, but so far there are 19 place settings!

Tomorrow will be our first day of truly tourist activity. We are going to Sea World, baby! We're pretty sure Evie will love it. Thijs and Christyl will be joining us for the day.

No chance to upload picture yet, but hopefully we'll get to put some up tomorrow.

Oh, and the weather here in Orlando? NICE AND WARM!!! Today it reached 80 degrees F. Woohoo!! We're loving it! It's certainly a nice change from the record breaking low temperatures in Denver. When we left it was -5 F, or -23 C!!!! CRAZY COLD!!!

Hoi lui!
Wat een gave reis zijn jullie aan het maken zeg! En mooi mazzel met die vlucht, na wat jullie eerst hadden meegemaakt. Vraag maar aan Thijs of jullie nog naar Aunt Catfish gaan. Kun je ook Manatees zien, want als je op alligators moet wachten dan kun je wachten tot je een ons weegt, volgens mij zijn die beesten er helemaal niet echt.
Heel veel oplezier en dikke XXXen
