So as we were preparing to leave for the airport on Sunday, Drew's buddy says "there's a hurricane in the Carri bean, it's called Irene. It's supposed to hit Florida."
So guess what? It missed Florida altogether and hit the northeast, wreaked havoc on Long Island. the storm dominated the news the whole time we were on vacation.Instead, we got typical Florida weather -- very hot, very humid, and with short rain showers every day.
and we also missed the earthquake. the epicenter was in Washington, DC. but it was felt in NYC and Long Island.
Day one, Sunday. Afternoon flight from JFK to Orlando. Picked up our rental car, drove to Kissimmee. spent one night in a budget motel, Studio 6. Actually not too bad, clean, quiet, comfortable. spent the evening at Downtown Disney, ate at bongos. ran into one of Drew's friends coming out of Fulton's Crab house.
a good start to the trip.
