From snow to sun to snow
I am back from sunny Florida. I spent the week in West Palm Beach with my family. I was nice to leave the cold and the snow, to enjoy a few days of warm weather and sunshine. We spent the beginning of the week in WPB, spent 2 days in Orlando, visited my grandparents in Okeechobee (they spend the winter there) and came back to WPB for the last couple of days. I had a very nice week.
It was my first time on a plane. We took 4 different planes during the whole trip. It's not that bad. I actually found it very cool. However, the huge headaches I got on some flights weren't pleasant. My ears didn't bother me one bit. I won't be eating gum for a very long time. lol. We went back to Walt Disney World, but this time only to the Magic Kingdom. Three years ago, we visited all of the Disney Florida parks. I finally got my ride in Splash Mountain. What an experience! I was so scared the whole way. I felt so small and shaky. But it was totally worth it. Oh the adrenaline! We went back to favourites like the Haunted Mansion (which still scares me at some points), and checked out new features like a very cool 3D movie (I forgot the title but it was so amazing). My tip to Disney travelers: bring a lunch. All the sit down restaurants are completely booked and the over-the-counter food is discusting (and pricey). Unless you like eating bizarre vegetarian wraps with mysterious yellow paste inside. We also visited Sea World which, surprisingly, I didn't like very much. I thought I would be excited to see all those sea animals... but it was nothing spectacular. The only real good part was buying the cutest turtle (stuffed animal). The sight of a single polar bear, inside a small room, without snow, almost brought me to tears. He must be so unhappy. We came back last night. I was actually happy to feel the cold and see the snow (I could have passed on the slushy streets though). It's not stuffy here. I feel lucky to be able to experience all the seasons in Ontario. We have hot summers, cool winters, and all those leaf changes in between. Although the Florida sun gave me a boost of energy, I would trade my slushy streets to have it all year round. It makes it more special this way. Things on which I overdosed in Florida: - chocolate chip cookies - popcorn - wraps (sandwiches) - subs - mint flavoured gum - bottled water - eggs - strawberries The closing ceremonies of the Olympics are today. I really want to watch that. We had a canadian satellite in our condo in WPB, so we got to see a lot of the games. Canada is doing so well. I am very proud to call myself a Canadian.  Merci Kass et Jazzy pour les commentaires. Hope everyone has a nice week.# written by Elise

Oh wow, sounds like you had an awesome time in FL! Thats excellent. I really want to visit there someday and see all the fantasy worlds as well. I love rides and become a bit of a ride-junkie whenever the Easter Show comes around here. Which, since it's March almost, won't be too far away because Easter here happens in early April... and I love it.
I love having all four seasons and really feeling them all. I need to do so much work on my blog site and I am starting from scratch, it needs an overhaul. jac xxx
I forgot to mention. I just saw the closing ceremony in Torino of the Winter Olympics and it was cool. Avril sang well, the colours were cool and the performances... they did the screen on white flooring like Sydney did. It was great. Now it's all for the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne, Australia in the next few months, then onto Beijing in 2008 and ofcourse, Vancouver for 2010! ;)
