Hey hey!
It has been a loooong time between proper updates (no internet access!) and it’s probably no use giving you the lowdown on the last few days/states…but if it’s not for your entertainment then for my memory…we’ve done and seen SO much that I’m worried my crappy memory is going to forget all about it!
Here’s the highlights package…and we were too lazy to categorise photos, so the last few lots have been lumped together…we’re sure you’ll work out where’s where
ORLANDO
- DisneyWorld truly is the happiest place on earth!
- We were given these cute lil “Just Married” badges and wore them everywhere and got congrats from heaps of people!
- Magic Kingdom is a gorgeous place and every night they put on the most awesome fireworks show. We had the pleasure of watching it twice and oohing and aaahing lots!
- I got to meet Chip and Dale, Pluto, Daffy and the man himself - Mickey Mouse!
- Animal Kingdom was fun and very edumacational. We went on a safari bus and saw some cool animals!
- I reckon MGM Studios is better than Universal! It’s just more polished and lets visitors experience more movie magic. Universal had some very cheesy Jaws and Earthquake rides!
- Universal Islands Of Adventure gave Al his rollercoaster fix! The Hulk was crazy, green and loopy and the 3D Spiderman ride was really awesome. We went on this other nutso Vikings rollercoaster where a “fire” team hits the loops the same time as an “ice” team and you end up, down and around really close to each other like you’re gonna crash!
- Islands also had a cool rapids ride. We didn’t go on cos everyone who did got soaked…and we soon discovered why! After they go down the big drop and hit the water like most of these types of rides, they have this pleasant journey to what they THINK is the exit…but in actual fact, spectators on the bridge above can put a quarter in a giant water squirter, take aim and hit them hard with MORE water! The squeals were hilarious! I think this is the most I’ve ever seen Al laugh 
- Epcot was another edumacational spot, but the mini worlds and rides were cool.
DALLAS
- Was great to see my Uncle Ken again and be in the land of big roads, big trucks and big malls! Went to the JFK museum (the President was shot in downtown Dallas), checked out their gorgeous botanical gardens and…um….yeah, I may have done a little shopping 
- Unc Ken took us to an NBA game - Mavs v Hawks and the atmosphere was awesome! Dallas completely spanked Atlanta. It was way cool
YOSEMITE
- It’s coooooooold out there so I’m holed up in the room now watching SVU as I type this
Yosemite is absolutely breathtaking - everywhere you turn there’s an amazing view of snow covered mountains. Al can’t put his camera away! It’s hard to explain in words or pictures, but if you’re going to the USA any time soon, make sure a trip to Yosemite is on the list - you won’t regret it!
Well that’s all you’ll hear from us about the big trip
Look forward to seeing you all soon! (Well, except for all the work people cos that means we’ll be at work
)
