Sunday Night

Monday Morning

Monday Night
 - Stayed our first night in our new "home" state.

Tuesday
 - Went to Target, Wal-Mart, and IKEA for the basics.
 - Met some new friends at ESPN Cafe at Disney's Boardwalk.

Wednesday Morning
 - Check-in at Vista Way...then onto Leg Two : Move-In and Training

     The journey was tough, but we have eachother. I seemed to have forgotten my breifcase on the shuttle to the LAX airport, and I ran, full-sprint, nearly a quarter mile to the next terminal to catch the shuttle. Then, we arrived almost two and a half hours early to our gate, but the SWA lady said everything was fine before we found out things weren't.
     They never gave us our booking letter, and we ended up being the last to check-in. Because it's Southwest, we sat separately on both flights. Suzette was absolutely excited about our new life though. I could tell, because I heard her talking all about it three rows away.
     Once we got to Orlando, the stares began. One older lady said, "MY! That's a lot of luggage." Our response, "Well, we're moving here from California." We waited more than a half an hour to pick up our pre-paid rental car from Hertz, and scored an upgrade to a sweet Nissan Maxima. Our total luggage: 4 bags between 45 and 50 pounds, 2 carry-ons about 35lbs each, and two carry-ons about 15lbs. The car was completely loaded.
     In the end, we really like it here in Orlando. The weather is beautiful, I feel like it's a little easier to breathe, the sky is blue, and I live in the Disney World Resort. Now it's time for the next leg of our journey.
     Tomorrow morning is check-in day at our new apartments, and we'll recieve our work assignments. I'll be sure to keep everyone posted.
