Weekly Round Up: Enjoying Orlando

Photo Credit:  kevindooley

It’s official, yesterday we started our vacation for our anniversary. We’re in Orlando, FL and at 7:30am the temperature is 44F and it’s sunny and clear outside. It’s supposed to warm up to 67F. The rest of the week is supposed to be high 70s, low 80s. 

The tip down here was eventful. I dropped by my mom’s and stay a little longer than expected, no problem, right? Well, it turns out I left my bag with my wallet, hotel confirmation, and other important things there! We lost about an hour and 1/2 getting that back. 

We stopped by Savannah, Ga for lunch. I went there a few years ago with some friends and had a great time. It seems like I completely forgot how to get back to the restaurant I loved before and instead we lost another hour looking and finally eating someplace else. We got stuck in traffic a few times and the last 20 miles took a long time, but we made it!

 When I’m relaxing in the hotel I’ll check my Twitter. I’ll be leaving micro-posts on things we did and how we saved on money. If you have any tips or suggestions,  contact me by email or use twitter. Our hotel offers better deals on some of the parks than I could find. It’s nicer than we usually reserve, but bidding on Priceline, we’re paying 1/3 of the normal price. I hope to put some pictures up as we go sightseeing.
