Halfway point!!!!

BOOOOOOOOOO the vacation is half over.

YAAAAAAAAAA the truly "Florida" weather has arrived!

9:00 AM - I head up to the biggest pool area to reserve a cabana for the day. For the first time, it's "pool appropriate" weather at 9 AM. Don't get me wrong, the weather has been beautiful so far, but the mornings and evenings have been chilly. No worry of that today as it is already over 70 degrees. Tracey is still asleep but I have booked the best available cabana and left my pool and workout clothes up there just in case anyone comes along to try to scoop it from us.

God it is spectacular here as long as you aren't being bombarded by a hurricane or attacked by alligators.

9:20 AM - I get back to the townhouse to see a large bird, a stork I think, standing at the doorway to a neighbour's townhouse. Just standing there like he wants to get in. Guy comes out to see what's up and the bird seems very interested in his morning coffee.

The wildlife is plentiful here and very well behaved. Squirrels and tiny lizards are everywhere and these birds are always walking around on the patios and roadways. Thankfully no gator sightings yet.

11:00 AM - We settle in at our cabana and hit the lazy river. Frosty beverages cannot be far behind.

We order a snack and notice that the food here is SOOOO much better than the comparable food we ate at TGIFriday's early in the week.

Oh, and the frosty piña coladas have arrived in spades.

I love going to pools here, it's great for my self-esteem. I am, like, the 400th fattest person at the pool here today :)

4:00 PM -  Back to the townhouse, which is good timing because 5 hours at a pool, even a nice one, is about 3.5 hours more than I can normally handle.

Ordered pizza from the resort pizzeria and it was possibly the worst pizza ever. Yuck. We opened up a bottle of Chardonnay that was almost as bad as the pizza. Tossed it away and opened up a very nice bottle of Cab Sauvignon instead. Much better. Having said that, it still pales in comparison to the Cab Sauvignon we had at Victoria & Albert's.

Just looked up that amazing bottle of Cab Sauvignon and the good news is we can get it in BC! The bad news it's $100/bottle. Silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignon from the Alexander Valley. They also have one from the Napa Valley which our waitress said is even more collectible which goes for $135. Alert the media, we love a wine that is $100+/bottle.

9:30 PM - After watching about 10 episodes of The Big Bang Theory it's time for bed. Tomorrow we are going to hit Downtown Disney for some shopping.
