Orlando – day 19 (4th Dec)
Today was the last day of our trip to Orlando. It was strange packing up and leaving our room at the Caribbean Beach Resort at Disney World International. Of course my OCD kicked in and I had to go back to the room a couple of times to make sure we had everything with us.
We headed to Downtown Disney for a late breakfast and to use up our last quick serve meal. We settled on having a really good salad at Wolfgang Puck Express, as always washed down with a huge soda drink. I picked up a couple of cookies for the dessert option and saved them for later. As we still had a bunch of snack options left on our dining plan, we used them on a bunch of bagged candy sweets.
Used up one of our Disney vouchers and picked up a free keyring from the Planet Hollywood Store. Spotted a lizard making his/her way to the shops. It’s a fairly happening place and who’s to stay it wasn’t going to have fun..
As we still had a bit of time to kill we drove to the Florida Mall for one last look around. Funny that we started our holiday at the Apple Store and pretty much finished it there.
Filled car up. Drove to airport. Left the car with AVIS who said we had no outstanding charges on the rental. Got a voicemail from a friend who had landed in Orlando a few days before. Just a shame I kept the phone off, otherwise we would have met up. Made it through security, despite Paul carrying cartons of milk is rucksack. Had dinner at the Outback Steakhouse. As always, I went for the burger and had a lager with it.
We boarded the plane and few home. I can’t remember all the movies I watched, but one of them was Columbiana – which was good.
Landing at Gatwick was a bit of a shock. It was so cold. We also boarded the train slap bang in the middle of the morning rush hour. Some bitch almost pushed me off the train as I tried to get on with my suitcase. Welcome back to England! We made our way back to North London where my dad picked us up from the tube station. Tired we managed to get some sleep during the day.
