Orlando!!!

We arrived in Orlando safely!!

Jojo did a fab job of hiring a car - a chrysler cruiser and getting us a great hotel.  Our rooms even interconnect!!!

Sandy had a little nap last night - so the rest of us went out to a bar called the tilted kilt. Can take the lasses out of Scotland but...

Only problem was that it was um... hooters style.  Girls in very short skirts and bras serving up food and beer.  Hey ho, the food was nice.

And so endeth my education in American sports

I have officially finished my sports watching.


I experienced 'tailgating' and ice hockey last night thanks to Walter, Lois and Allaina.  The game was quite cool - the North Carolina Hurricanes vs New York Rangers.  Sadly the 'canes' lost.


Ice Hockey was super fun because - 

  • Walter, Lois and Allaina rock
  • Beer was involved
  • The game was indoors with comfy seats (which even had beer holders)
  • They slingshot people across the ice at half time
  • It was fast and there was lots to watch
  • They have a sin bin (which reminds me of aussie footy)










 

No sport would be complete without MacD


To coin Walter and Lois' phrase-


Baseball - check
Basketball - check
American Football - check
Ice Hockey - check
Tailgating - check


American sport experience - check!!
