February 22

   Drove down to where we'd parked with Carole and Pete the other day, collected Carole's sea shells that she left behind, it's a really quiet stretch of beach here, away from the shops and motels. We watched the Pelicans, I sunbathed in between sorting Andrew's kite flights out - had to throw it up in the air after crash landings. We've named her "Kittiwake" after a sea bird as she flies pretty well.

   We left about 5.45pm after a walk along the shore as it was getting cold, at 6.30pm, still on our way home, we heard on the car radio that the shuttle just landed safely - what a bummer, we missed the damn thing by 45 minutes!!!!!!

   Went to Point X mall and had burger for Andrew and hotdog for me, onion rings with Ranch sauce to share at Johnny Rockets a 50's style diner, the waitress gave us some dimes to put in the duke box at our table - a bit like Ed's in London. 

   We then went to "The Ship of Dreams" Imax Theater in Orlando to see Fantasia 2000. It's pretty good, we didn't rate the whales or the people in the first 2 pieces [it's all set to classical music as the 1st  one was] the Sorcerer's  Apprentice is the same, but the Flamingo's with yoyo's is hilarious, the Carnival of Animals, and the "Spring" are excellent - so all in all well worth watching. Imax is brilliant, termed as "7 storey's high" it really is quite awesome, and the surround sound makes such a difference to the wonderful music.

   We came home then to catch up on Andrew's pix on the diary and update [a real pain for Andrew here, as it takes so long to log on] - we've been having complaints about the late updates on this diary, so I'll stop waffling now and let Andrew update, goodnight all.
