Christmas En Route

Hooray! Today is Christmas! However, we won't be spending the morning in our pajamas opening presents, followed by an elaborate brunch, and concluding with an elaborate dinner with friends and families. This morning we woke up on the early side so we could make our way to Florida.  Even though our flight isn't until 1pm, we decided we should leave the house at 8:30. Normally we would take the tram and train to the airport, but this week's weather has caused the trams and trains to run less frequently, or not at all. They cannot be depended on. So, our taxi will pick us up at 8:30 and we will surely make it to the airport on time, where we can expect long lines, angry passengers, and delays. We will be stopping over in Philadelphia, where weather could, again, leave us in a rut. If we assume that we don't get any delays (or cancellations!!!), then we should be touching down in Orlando at around 9pm. Uncle Thijs and Aunty Christyl will be getting married on Sunday. (Read: if delays hold us for more than a day, we're screwed!!!) Aunty Panda and Aunty Rox will be joining us until New Year's Eve. We'll be staying at a very child-friendly hotel just ten minutes from Downtown Disney. While we aren't planning on entering the Disney parks, there will be enough excitement on the schedule. We'll try to update as much as possible, but there are rumors of no WiFi in the hotel... so we'll see.  Either way, Merry Christmas!!!
