Monday 7th May 2007


We decided that we'd spend today around our complex, so when we eventually left our apartment we went to one of the 13 pools, where there was a free BBQ for the guests (well, we're classed as owners - because Mum and Keith own a timeshare - but you know what I mean).

After filling ourselves on free food and drink me, Mum and Emma went to play basketball, whilst Nikki and Keith hired out bikes. We had loads of fun - and when we had a game of 'Killer', Mum was the winner - or Champion as she kept reminding us.

This afternoon, I drove (yes, I drove again - Keith had been drinking the free beer at the BBQ) us to a place called 'Celebration'. This is a town (which is quite big - probably about the size of Keynsham) that has been built by Disney. It's quite surreal there... it's a bit like a mix of the Stepford Wives and Desperate Housewives. Apparently, the residents have certain rules they must follow. For example, they have to keep their grass at a certain length!

Nikki loved it and decided that she wants to live there. When we found a property paper, we found that quite reasonably sized condos are only about $175,000 - so, who knows..?

Mum, Keith and Emma were going to a show on the complex that had animals and magic, but me and Nikki didn't go because we're trying to stick to our budget and the tickets were $14 each.

Instead, I took Nikki to Oldtown, which is this cool place in Kissimmee that has been made to look like its from the 40's or 50's. Nikki had a good time and even spent some of her birthday money (which, for anyone who knows what Nikki is like with money, is a big deal!)

We bought ourselves some burgers - which were 2 for $4 and came back to the apartment. Before writing this and coming to bed...

Traveling is fun - every day's a holiday!
