Orlando with Dawn

Dawn "had" to go to Orlando for some training at work and that was a great excuse for Jim and I to meet her in Orlando. We drove from Ocala, only a little over an hour, to pick her up at the Orlando Airport. We actually arrived in Orlando before Dawn boarded the plane in Atlanta, just to be sure we could find the Airport and to look around a bit. When we called her to say we were almost to Orlando she was concerned that we would get tired just waiting for her in the Airport. Well, we didn't. You should see this Airport!! The picture below is the Orlando Airport/Lobby of the Hyatt Hotel. I have never seen a hotel and an airport put together like this. It was really neat!!

.....and we were busy the whole time. We went to Starbucks....then to Sea World....then to Starbucks....then to Disney World....then Starbucks.....then Universal Studios....then Starbucks....OK, you get the idea, plenty of caffine before we left the airport.

....and we met old friends

.....and we made new friends

Jimmy's new friend could not speak English and Jimmy does not speak Spanish but all three of them had fun being "Goofy".

....ALL IN THE ORLANDO AIRPORT. Then Dawn arrived and we took her to her hotel. The hotel was fabulous!! It was like a big Las Vegas hotel!! Pictures below. That is what you get when you work for a large company (not the government). We stayed at the Holiday Inn (not pictured because is could not compare).

After we got settled in our hotels we all went to dinner together. The dinner was go much fun it deserves it's own entry. See "Sleuth Mystery Dinner"
