Florida Day One

I'm here safe & sound and boy is it good to be here in Lake Placid! It is so hot & warm, it is better than any summer's day I have ever had in Britain! The air conditioning keeps it nice and cool too :-)

The flight was better than I thought, 10 hrs 40 mins scheduled time became 10 hrs and I managed to keep myself occupied for most of the flight although I didn't sleep!

Almost as soon as I stepped off the plane in Miami I knew where I was as out of the window there were exciting big city skyscrapers and, for a nice Floridian touch, palm trees!

My flight to Orlando was slightly delayed but was only half an hour. I was so so tired (5 hours sleep in three days) when I got there. However I mustered enough energy for Caitlin to take me to the Cheesecake Factory for food! 

I had almost gone there in Boston 5 years ago and I had always wanted to! It was such a lovely place to be with waterfalls outside the mall, it smelt a bit like Center Parcs inside the mall strangely. I had a burger which was very filling, the food and tiredness meant I took my cheesecake home (where I promptly had it for breakfast this morning!) as I wasn't feeling too great.

I met the family who have been very welcoming and fun, even though I haven't been quite myself until now due to my tiredness. The house is beautiful and I won't be able to resist the temptation of the swimming pool for long!

I am not sure what we are doing later but I hope to get out and explore a bit of the area :-)

Hope things are great back home, loving you and praying for you!
