Disney 05

2005 how could I ever forget. The greatest trip of my life and everyday I just want to go back.
We went on a trip with are very good close friends Christian and France and it was a trip for the ages.

First off we didn't cheat by taking the plane, we decided to drive there, as much as it was hard on the bodies and morales I don't believe the trip would have been as memorable if we would have taken the plane. It took us about 24 hours on the road to get there. Long day and night however we kept to it, really we didn't stop that much on our way there. Every maybe 4-5 hours we would stop for 10 minutes and hit the road again. However we did stop at certain places on our way, the very first time we ever ate at a Perkins in Pensylvania and then we stopped in Virginia at the absolute biggest and nicest gas station we had ever seen and must add the toilets were incredibly clean :).

Now I also got to say I am so glad that we got to experience this trip with two great friends as who knows when will we ever be able to do it again.

It was so insane how the further we went the hotter it became, however the heat really started getting to us in South Carolina and of course when we stopped in Jacksonville to have a bite to eat , it was burning outside but it was part of the experience and nobody really complained other then the usual"My god it's hot" :)

We got to our hotel in Kissimee in the early afternoon and at first we were kinda surprised at how the hotel looked like, but trust me when I say we loved every moment we had at the hotel for many reasons, one being so exausted after everyday so we enjoyed the great sleeps lol but also the service was amazing never seen anything like it. Seralago hotel very decent place for a decent price.

The first night was eventfull on Sunday evening we decided to take a tour of our surroundings , and landed somewhere near by called Old Town. At first sight looked like a regular town fair, however once we got there we knew it wasn't the same as back home. Christian and France were brave enough to try the so called Sling Shot and I must say the ride scared me shitless just looking up on how high they got. They had fun but I believe both have said they wouldn't dare it again :).

We also took a walk further down and it was quite nice, stores everywhere with things we just dont get to see back home and we appreciated every moment of it. Tired we were, but we also knew we hadnt come him to sleep.

The first day we went off at about 7-8 Am to take the shuttle which was gonna take us to our first theme park, Magical Kingdom. The first thing I noticed being there was the great scenary, beautiful colors all around us, something we could only see in movies, thats probably why it kept my mind off of how hot it was, it was so hot at first that my skin was itching. But after some sunscreen we were fine.

I still remember our first ride, it was Stitch has a glitch or something of the sorts, something quick,funny and amusing. One thing we all noticed about the entire vacation no matter the theme park the waiting lines were surprisingly short or quick I should say. Obviously there were a few big attractions that only played at certain times that were quite longer but then we had the choice at a Quick Pass , called something like that.

First day was great, we were exausted like hell, and I believe thats when we took our first dip in the pool Christian and I while the girls walked to the hotel exausted and simply needing to rest.
The pool was so hot and not refreshing at all, until we decided to go into the jacuzzi and once we heated up even more in there and jumped in the pool it was so much cooler :).

Second day we had decided to take things a bit more melow, so we went off to Epcot, the shortest day of the trip but one of my favorites. We got there and there was so much less people then at Magical Kngdom which really helped the day because we didn't want to be jam packed that day. So we started off I believe with living under the sea section, and either the first or second ride we took was Soarin, and to this day it's one of the rides I most remember. Te experience being in that ride was out of this world and I knew that whatever we were seing was even more then I could even expect.

Then we took a quick lunch, the guys had some sort of Ham Sandwich while the gals took something that apparently was digusting I must admit it look quite awful.
That's one thing of the trip in the U.S. the food was really not the same to back home and that's one thing we were all kinda missing.

Anyways food wasn't the biggest part of the trip. So the second night at the hotel I believe we went out to eat either at the Iirish type restaurant or Red Lobster can't remember but both were quite nice. The Iirish place had some of the best fajitas I had ever had simply phenomenal.

Third day we went off to MGM , one of the most entertaining days for us, more adult then magical and more things to do then epcot, but again quite exausting. I remember taking part of the onsite gameshow Who wants to be a millionaire and all 4 of us were lucky enough to be taking part of the floor players , great experience, it really felt like being on the show.

Then our final park was Universial Studios, that was the hottest park of them all, because at the other three we kept hidding ourselves as much as possible in the shades however there lets just say there wasnt much shade :). We got to see a histerical horror show that kept us laughing for quite some time, we saw Back to the future which was the ride I was anticipating the most, obviously not the most fun I had, but being such a passionate fan I enjoyed it.

So then came Thursday evening it was pooring rain like crazy, so that kind of put a damper on the night but before that we still did all the rides before leaving except for men in black because it was closed when we went passed it, heck it will give us a reason to go back :).

That was it for the theme parks. We had so much fun, obviously it was rough because we were so exausted and couldnt wait for the days to be over but in reality we wanted to charish as much as possible.

Friday was a shopping day, we went to a disney store, then off to the flea markets, they were quite big and had tons of stuff you just dont get to see on a daily basis. Anyways that was our friday, then on saturday morning around noon came the time to leave.It was sad, but also the time to go. We had a 24 hour drive in front of us and really it was hard to motivate us to leave but we were starting to miss the regular sleeping :)

So there you have it that was our trip, sure there is tons more I could of said about the trip itself in details but that would be just too long.

All I can say is this, maybe next time if we do go, we wouldn't drive and take the plane but we can all say we did it once and it was a superb experience. Glad again we had friends with us that really wanted to go,because without them it wouldn't have been the same trip.

Florida was a nice place, I really miss even more then the rides, the time we spent at the hotel, in the surroundings or even the time Christian and me drove off to Orlando to find a Gamestop and just walk around. Oh and also, something important to us happened, Roxie and I got engaged. And we are still together if your curious :)

First meeting

I had my first appointment as a Financial Advisor last night with two friends of mine who are expecting their first child anyday now.

I wasn't quite sure where to start however with some small talk at the beginning I was able to feel confortable in going more in depth with their situation.

Obviously I was slightly nervous with the material but not in talking with them, however with experience I am positive this will be something I will excel at.

For the first time in a long while I have been motivated into working hard and giving my very best. The difference with this line of work it's a career vs a regular job like Ihad at Bell Sympatico where it became so repetitive that I felt so useless in what I was doing, this will be so much more as every situation will differ from the others.

I will keep you updated on how my working life goes.

As for now it's looking positive.

Saturday cleaning

It's come to that day again, big cleaning. Sure it has to be done but for me it's always difficult to find the motivation for it, but once it's done and the place is looking great Im happy that she pushes me lol even if I don't look like it.

To be honest I complain for about 5 hours but in reality I know it's got to be done just never seems to be the right time. So today is a perfect day for cleaning and for the first time since we bought our stove we have decided to clean it up entirely. Can't wait to see the end results.

We finally placed all of our documents in order and it feels much more organized and that is something I will have to get used to in this new career path.

Talking about my new employment, I have my first appointment with a prospect on wednesday. Hope all goes well, it's a good friend of mine and I already have an idea what type of help he needs however it will be a great way to gain experience.

I am real anxious to see how it goes, but I feel that whenever I set my mind on something I usually succeed.

Anyways that's all for today folks,
