I'll be at the Waldorf

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!

 

I hope it is filled with lots of peace & love.

 

I am going on a local-vacay this weekend with my parents.  Dad has to work a training meeting at a resort near Disney World, so my mom and I have decided to tag along and make use of the swanky swimming pool. 

 

It is absolutely crucial to be by water that you can dip in if you want to enjoy any of the famous sun from our Sunshine State.  It is just too humid-hot to possibly stay hydrated -you sweat all of the hydration out our body before it even has a chance to do it's job.  And of course, because the sun's rays are so strong down here in the sub-tropics!  Our Home Owner's Association requires that we have a UV-protectant screen around our pool.  This not only helpes with the sun, but it is moreso for the interesting critters that need a nice cool dip in a pool once in a while, too!  Point is: my family worships the sun and we think the screen was placed there by the devil - ha!  Nah, we do have love for that pool-screen when it gets to snake hatchin' time of the year and alligator mating season.  As far as our tanning and recreaton purposes... not so much.

We believe in the natural healing of Vitamin D and we enjoy having perma-tans!

 

We are Florida people!

 

We are looking forward to lounging like tourists in our own metro-city while we bronze ourselves to happiness.  However, it won't be too long after we get there that we realize why we never go to the tourist district - it is practically a foreign country & locals are definitely the minority. It might as well have a currency exchange rate because everything seems to double in price on that end of town (but not quality).  Still, it is fun to get out of the house, pack an overnight bag, and escape to a little resort-style oasis for the weekend. 

The entertainment in Orlando is endless, but most of it is been-there done-that type stuff.  I mean, we've lived here for 19 years. The best entertainment for us is PEOPLE WATCHING.  When it comes to gawking at people, I think it is safe to say that locals just about anywhere all enjoy watching & making light of goofy tourist who don't have a clue what they are doing.

 

I'm excited about our getaway to the other side of Orlando. How fun!

Isn't this place beautiful?!?

 

 

I don't get to see the resorts in the way that tourists do, so I am particularly excited about seeing what we have to offer for the tourists that support our economy year after year.  We might make a little fun of out-of-towner's... but we would live a completely different lifestyle, as a city, if it weren't for the enourmous tourism industry we have. 

 

I will be sure to take lots of pictures and record my observations as an Orlando, FL tourist rather than resident.

 

Have a great one!

 

peace&love
