DAYTONA BEACH!

Ok so the last week or so has been fantabulous. On... Thursday? Yeah. Thursday. We all went out to TGI Fridays after work to say good bye to the CPs who are leaving this week. So so sad, both of my favourites are leaving. Funny thing was, most of the people who are leaving didnt come. Thats ok though, the rest of us had fun. Everyones cars were full on the way there so me Rebecca and Bonnie walked from Vista. It was pretty funny times, none of the flashy man walk now thingymajigs were working so we kinda just... ran. Wasn't the best. But yeah that was a good night. Ate waaaaaaaaaaay too much. Got an entree of fried mozzarella. Yes. Deep fried cheese. Awesome ay? So I got home from that at about 1 am. I then got up at 6am to pack for Daytona. The taxi came and got us at 6.45am and drove us to the greyhound station which happened to be in this really really dodgy area of down town Orlando. We were pretty scared lol. Sat there for about an hour waiting for the bus and generally trying not to fall asleep. Once we arrived at Daytona we did all the usual finding our hotel, getting settled in kinda stuff, blobbed on the beach for a while then we decided we wanted lunch. We went to this really really cute 50s diner. Just like in the movies!! From there we taxied to a chocolate factory which did a tour and let us sample the chocolate which was EPIC as... sooo good. The next day we went to Ponce Outlet to go parasailing. I wasnt planning on going- was running a bit low on money- but the others all wanted to so I tagged along and went on the boat. Thing was, the guy was talking to me and asked why I wasnt going so I told him. He ended up letting me go for free! I was like MEAN. It was sooo much fun, we went at 1000 feet- around 300m. Could see heaps, blue sky, blue water, white sand... gorgeousness. They dipped us in the water a few times as well which was awesome seeing as I was fully clothed... haha. Dont think the others were hugely impressed that I got to go for free but oh well. Um what else did we do that day? Oh. Stacey wanted a tattoo and Jackie wanted her nose pierced so they went and did that. The others all hung around and watched but I wasnt really too keen on staying there- was kinda dingy and it was soooo nice outside- so I walked home along the beach. It took about an hour and a quarter which would have been fine except that I wasnt wearing sun screen. I now have some really epic tan/burn lines. Third day we tried to go to IHOP for breakfast but failed so we tried the diner and failed so we ended up going to a burger place. Now, I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich. The lady misheard me and thought I said grilled cheese. I said that was fine and Id eat whatever. She puts a burger down, it gets passed down to me so I figure hey, this must be for me. I took a bite. Then I get told its not mine, it was Sarahs. So I passed it to Sarah and said "Sorry, I took a bite". That would be reasonably ok back home right? You wouldnt do it to a random but anyone you know, whatever, its only a bite. But apparently the rest of the world, not so much...... They gave me crap the rest of the day. Hung out on the beach for a few hours. I went swimming and wave jumping and stuff but the others were boring and stayed on the beach. Turns out I was swimming in a rip. oops. After that we taxied- again- to the Nascar Speedway. That was pretty cool, saw the race track and stuff. From there we walked to the mall. Which was shut. We still had about 4 hours until we had to be at the bus station- and really really didnt want to get there early because that bus station was just so DODGE!! So we stole a couple of trolleys and put all our stuff in them- I should probably mention we had to check out of the hotel at 11 am so we had been dragging all our stuff around all day- and wandered around various shops. Eventually we got sick of that so we pushed our trusty trolleys to Olive Garden where we spent a ridiculously long time deciding what we wanted to eat and doing everything else as slowly as possible. It was really good food. After about 2 hours we kinda sensed the poor waiter wanted us to leave so he could get new people and more tips so, very reluctantly, we gathered all our stuff that was piled around the table and loaded up the trolleys again. We still had a couple of hours so we went to Dennys- we spent a LOT of time in restaurants- parked our trolleys under a street light so we could keep an eye on them and ordered icecream sundaes. Eventually we decided to brave the bus station. So so so dodge! No other word describes it quite right. Im pretty sure everyone else on that bus was transporting drugs and/or homeless. We all had to split up too because the bus was almost full and there were only scattered empty seats. Finally we got home and, very thankful for Vista security, went home and to bed. The end.


That was a pretty long post huh? Well its not the end. I still have to tell you all about today! Haha. So today Rebecca me and one of her friends went horse riding at Fort Wilderness! Random much lol. It was pretty cool except I wanted a pretty horse and got an ugly one :). But at least it was well behaved and my helmet went unused!! After that we wanted to go swimming so we caught a guest bus to Blizzard Beach. My first time at Blizzard! I love the concept, its all set up like a ski village. So yeah just hung out in the pool and went down a couple of slides and stuff. We were only there for an hour ish though. Didnt see any snakes in the lazy river which was a good start! Um yuppyyup I think thats around about it now. You can all go back to your lame as lives and leave me to my fantastically exciting one! :)
