Part  I  -Orlando Florida

Landed and rented a car the thing about Orlando is that they put the airport  where the toll road is the best way to get to the airport and  then divided the road so half is 1 company and the other is another making you stop 2 times to pay the tolls. I had forgot that when I lived there we used back way to get around the tolls. So we missed the second toll both and I thought that they would charge us some crazy ticket fee but only turned out to be 3 or 4 dollars for a 2 dollar fee. Some of the rental car companies have a deal with the toll road to collect any unpaid  tolls at reasonable charge. I was especially afraid when we found out that it was $200.00 for routine speeding ticket. We stayed at a Blue Green Timeshare  - The Fountains  about 3 miles from Disney. It was 2 bdrm 2 bath Jacuzzi full kitchen wash/dryer 7 days for a steal that Joyce found in her corner. We later found out when we went to a timeshare presentation that it was the exact same unit that was  being used as the model for selling folks timeshare properties. Fount he place ok but decided to go out and get our favorite Giordanos deep dish pizza. It was only 2-3 miles from us and took almost 2 hours for round trip Traffic was  Horrible.

 

During the time I lived  here  my extravagant  hobbies  included  going to timeshare presentations to get the free gifts, figuring how to talk to Joyce for free long distance  who at the lime was in Pittsburgh and  eat outin Sanford FL  at Lee's Famous Fried Chicken on discount day Wednesday's  with the guys from my group at work and play for our work softball and volley ball teams. hhh
