Orlando Tips

Orlando, Florida>, Oct 27, 2006

The Rosen Shingle Creek Hotel is a beautiful hotel to stay at. The staff is very friendly and helpful and their is alot to do on the property. They have multiple pools, a spa, a golf course and a wonderful gift shop and dining area. The 2 aspects I was amazed with was in the bed rooms. They are equiped with a LG 32 LCD Television and the beds have down everything on them! It was like sleeping on a cloud with a beautiful photo infront of you! The one aspect I was dissapointed in was in the bathroom. I figuured that with the sleeping area being so luxurious they would have a jet tub bathtub but it was just a standard, cheap, regular tub… I guess they want you to go to the spa for the jet action!—By the way I got to see the Queen Suite and the King Suite. The main difference was more space in the bedroom in the King with a nicer view and in the Bathroom the King had a standard bathtub and a walk in shower where the Queen only had the standard tub.

Orlando, Florida>, Oct 28, 2006

So I’m sleeping in one of the wonderous beds at the hotel when my phone rings… it’s 2AM and I have to get up at 4:30 to make it to the airport and guess who it is… it’s my friend who said she wanted to get a hold of me… I push ignore and look over to make sure I didn’t wake my friend in the next bed who was gracious enough to let me take over part of his room.  Nothing… he’s fine. 

My alarm goes off… I bolt out of bed and get into my rental  car (which only Matt and I used so I definitely didn’t need a large sedan) and found my way back to the airport.  I go wait in line and finally get my boarding pass. 

At the gate I go up to check in.. and find out that there is only one seat left on the plane… the 11 flight that I wanted was totally over booked (that’s the one I originally wanted because I work at 2PM and I can just zip over to work and sleep in in the morning)… the one strange thing about flights is I came to Orlando on the 27th, and booked the flight on the 25th… on that day both flights were wide open.  So I sit nervously and finally they call my name to board and I’m relieved and sleep up to Baltimore for my connection!

This trip is when I found out that flying is just an awesome way of life rather than more of a luxury… I got to Baltimore and I was seated in the aisle and a man was in the window next to me.  I look back and see a man with a row all to himself and ask if he’s going to use the window.  He said no that he prefers the aisle and I ask if I can take the seat.  He asked me if this was one of my first time flying and I told him no, that I’m tire and need to sleep.  He assured me that there was no way I could fall asleep since it was such a short flight (it was like an hour or so).  Well, I got up, moved to the window curl up with my pillow.  Bam… I’m out before the plane takes off.  I wake up when the plane hits the tarmack and the man next to me was astounded…  a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do.
