Cruiser's vacation...

So where do we go for a change of scene?

After all our lives are spent in Jungle settings, on glamorous isolated tropical islands and in busy port gateways in far flung corners of the world... You may recall that earlier this year one of our videos won the 'Cruising World' magazine prize of $500. It has given us many sleepless nights as we pondered what to do with the American Express gift voucher that we received. Only negotiable in the U.S. that meant either virtual shopping or a trip to the country.




It was tough! However the final decision was to combine real live shopping with a trip to Florida and best of all a tour of the Theme Parks. Bet that surprised you! I am a late convert to the world of Walt Disney-and I just love it. The Electric Light parade can reduce me to a sniveling wreck as the first bars of the music strike up...





Well it's great to be back- thank you Cruising World.We had a magnificent day yesterday. Of course 'Pirates of the Caribbean' was our first stop. How could it not be! The ride and then anorgy of shopping. In true cruiser fashion we will be returning with spares and goodies galore!

TBH had to be restrained from trampling small children as Woody(from Toy Story) strolled down the center of Frontierland and I was truly grateful NOT to be pushing a stroller containing a couple of kids!

Strange though how I no longer find the rides scary, after experiencing real life storms and big waves it has totally changed my perception of fear!We are having a wonderful time and it's a real change from our usual lifestyle...

No time for a longer post we are off to Universal Studios today, Spiderman and The Simpsons call...
