Home from Holiday

Well… Nancy and I just got back from a long vacation – 2 weeks – to celebrate my retirement.
Our first week we spent in Kissimmee Florida – it was cool, in the 40s most days although we did have 2 days in the 60s+. We have a nice timeshare there – Vacation Village at Parkway – and of course they tried to get us to upgrade ours – we signed the papers but I had second thoughts and thought that right now wasn’t a good time, so I cancelled it. I did buy the timeshare I have at Massanutten on eBay for 400 plus closing cost a few years ago and that turned out to be a very good deal, so when we’re ready I’ll get another one that way.
We enjoyed Florida, we went to Paramount Studio for 2 days – the new Harry Potter was fantastic – the rest of the parks was almost the same as it was about 5 years ago – next time we are definitely doing Disney – even though it cost more I believe you’ll get more for your money.
Nancy talked me in to going to Disney Downtown and seeing “Cirque du Soleil” which in my eyes was very expensive – it was very good and we had really good seats – I highly recommend it.
We Also saw Arabian Nights – and that was very good. It’s a dinner theater type of show, I had the vegetable Lasagna – it was really good!! –
After our week in central Florida we headed to Miami to start our cruise – Which was wonderful!!! We had 80 to 90 degree weather all week – We had 3 stops, one in Cozumel, Mexico where we got to see the Mayan Ruins of Tulum – that was absolutely the best and I highly recommend it. Next stop was Grand Cayman, again it was a wonderful stop – Nancy got to swim with the Sting Rays – She loved it. Our last stop was Jamaica – I didn’t care much for Jamaica – enough said –
Overall – it was a wonderful 2 weeks – and now we’re home to the cold – and still need to take the Christmas decorations down. Since I’m retired now – I don’t have to worry about going to work – In fact today, Nancy and I went to Whole Foods to pick up some healthy food – and now I’m going to learn how to use my Play Station that I got as a retirement present.
