More about our trip

We’ve been home nearly a week, but I miss Florida so much. It was great to get away. We were in a lot of traffic near the Orlando exit. I was talking about people returning from vacation when my husband said that people in Florida don’t need to vacation they live it!

Florida does have it all. For vacationers, Central Florida packs a lot of punch with seven major theme parks. There is always something to do and see in Orlando. I now know why there was so much traffic at the Orlando exit.

Did you know Orlando is the number one tourist destination in the U.S.? There are over 100,000 hotel rooms in Orlando. However, hotels aren’t the only option when it comes to a place to stay in Orlando. An Orlando vacation rental can land you in downtown in one of its historic homes or luxury condominiums. The view of downtown Orlando is a sight to see. Local restaurants, bars, and discos give breathe to the nightlife. Vacation rentals can also be found in historic neighborhoods like Thorton Park and Lake Cherokee.

Theme parks, sandy beaches, and a beautiful countryside are just some of the attraction of Florida. Is it too early to plan for next year’s vacation?

I have to admit that I really enjoyed the movie Dodgeball. Maybe part of the reason is the huge crush I have on Vince Vaughn but more importantly it was a funny movie.

While crusing some free online games, I came across Dodgeball so I had to play it. After breezing through the first two levels, I see my dodgeball skills from 3rd grade are still there. Playing dodgeball must be like riding a bike in that once you know how to do it you never forget.

The online dodgeball takes some liberties with the game. In round two you also have to avoid being shot with a ball out of an airgun. I assume that the higher rounds throw similiar and harder obstacles at you. Too bad my interest was lost during round two. Ah, the joys of casual gaming. There is absolutely no desire to finish or advance in games. Play while it’s fun and forget about it.
