Disney and the Coconut Obsession

January has arrived, and the new 2008 with it. I think that this is going to be a good year. I went out to dinner and watched Ocean's 12 until midnight. Nice an mellow. During the 1st week however, we all decided that it would be fun to head to Orlando, and take a trip around the world....... Disney Style.



I had never been to Disney World until that day, January the 3rd, and I must say that it was an experience. Real Americana entertainment at it's best. So naturally I was awestruck people watching. Though I must say that I was disappointed in the fact that they now sell beer and alcohol in the park as well as allow smoking in special areas, since that was always a thing that they DIDN'T do. Plus there are a lot of advertisements and billboards as well as franchise owned booths, McDonalds' being one of the more prevalent. Boring.



However, the fun I had with my sister and family, was awesome. and let me just say that the Tower of Terror ride.......GREAT! I was just amazed at the amount of artistry that it took to make the darn place, just amazing! Space Training ride, and all the landscaping, i mean, the list goes on and on. The whole place is just so.....planned.....it hurt my head at how much thought went into every detail. Quite the experience. Really worth the trip. Thanks sis.



So this past week my friend Chris and I decided on a whim to drive down to Key West. Which ended up being a MUCH longer drive than we'd thought. We spent the first night on Marathon Key, then Wed. finished the drive ti Key West, which I must say just might have some of the most interesting architecture in Florida, plus having consistently good food. Seriously. And also they have some fablooo Drag Queens. The place is hopping like every night. would be awesome if I were a party kid still. Some neat-o-sail boats.



The keys also had some great beaches, ya know, warm water, blue sky, sandy smooth seashell covered beaches. It all makes for a lovely postcard.



I should mention, while in the Keys, i became COMPLETELY obsessed with obtaining, drinking and eating a coconut. as they grow wild and every where there. Bananas too!
