Dream Vacation for Our Family




My wife and two grandsons and I just returned from a vacation we have been anticipating for a year and a half. We live in South Texas, so it was long drive to Orlando, Florida. We spent six days taking in all the attractions of Disney World, concluding in Star Wars weekend at the Hollywood Studios park. It was a thrill for the 8 & 9 year olds to participate in the Jedi Training Academy and do battle against the villian Darth Maul.

The reason we chose to drive was that we wanted to use the money we would have spent on airline tickets toward the price of a cruise to the Bahamas. So when we left Disney, we went to Port Canaveral to catch the Carnival Sensation. You should have seen me para-sailing off Freeport! We got home today, thrilled by the great time and the great memories.

Woot! You know, Walt Disney World is my favorite place on Earth- with the possible exception of Scotland. :-) I'm glad you had a blast, and Star Wars Weekend is really pretty cool, isn't it?
