Vacation Part 3

Wed: we woke up in the bahamas. I want to point out that the bahamas from teh boat looked so much like Guam it was scary. I mean there were coconut trees, flame trees, typical tropical plants that I grew up with. It was way cool. SO we went to a resort, were we got to be on the beach in umbrella chairs all day. IT was wonderful . Lots of clear water, sun screen, jamacian jerk chicken, and sand. We did a little kyacking. When they picked us back up we got dropped off in town. we enjoyed a very quick shop. then loaded back on the boat to head back to the US. Brad and I actually laid down and took a nap we were so tired from the day. Then we got up went to dinner, more great food, then went to see more gay dancers.. which was fun again for me. then a night stroll on the deck then retired for the evening. Thru. We woke up in Ft. LAuderdale.. again with the unpleasentness, but we dorve right out and headed straight to Olando.. the magic citty. We stopped for lunch at a cute italian resturan...

Sun: (still) After Kennedy Space center, we drove to Ft. Lauderdale. Not a very pretty city, and not a nice place to stay. Our hotel was a Timeshare freebee, so we and about 300 other people came and went in two days. we checked in, swam and and then went to bed. Mon: got up and went to our 3 hour Timeshare presentation. NO we didn't buy a time share. After the time share thing which lasted most of the day. THen we drove around lost in Ft. L. for a while. Stopped at a gas station bought a new map and asked directions... he sent us to the Liquor store next door. THe guy who was lit at 3pm actually gave us good directions. We found what we were looking for dinner and then went back to the hotel and went to the pool in teh dark with 30 other African am. kids. It was fun. Tue: got up and went to the harbor. We stopped and had our first cuban food. It was really good. We had to wait in line, but got on board with little hassle. Our room was down on the bottom level in hte back of hte se...

Part 1 We left richmond around 4:00 pm on Friday. We stopped for dinner at hte origianl KFC, which is brad's favorite resturant. He had always seen the signs but never stopped before so that was fun. We drove through TN and into GA. We stopped in MAcon GA around 1:00 in the morning. WE stayed in a seedy little dive that didn't cost alot of money but was definatly not the kind of place you would want to take kids or stay for long. Most of hte veheles in the parking lot were Trucks. (name The pasport inn motel) SAT: Got up around 10 or 11 or so, ate at Denny's (it was the first time brad had had a breakfast at denny's since all ours closed.) it was pretty good but in true denny's style the service was really slow. Then we set out for FL. It took us a couple hours to get to GA nad then a couple more to get to Orlando. On hte way down we stopped and bought tickets to Arabian Nights. It was one of htose dinner horse shows, (like Dixie Stampied or Midevial times) we stopp...
