THE EAGLE HAS LANDED!!

Well, it was one small step for normal human kind, but a great leap for me!!

I AM BACK FROM MY TRIP TO FLORIDA!!
AND I LOVED EVERY MINUTE!

I think i must have eaten in every restaurant in Sarasota County bar about six, i got my hair cut! :o , and my eyebrows waxed... :cry: that hurt...
I discovered that i LOVE flying, but hate landing!! it's always too bumpy, and i cannot sleep on a plane, or a bus...i tried it.
I have got in about an hour ago, it's taken me nearly twentyfour hours to get home...am severely jet lagged....and i was shopping right until the last minute.
anyone wants to know anything else, then yell!!
will post some pics when they are developed.

Welcome back irishcream :muffin:

Happy to hear you had a nice time in Florida. Must have been a really great trip, be good to see some photos.

I have an abstract fear of flight, but I would love to travel in a plane someday.

Be cool to hear more about your voyage to the USA.

Glad you are back, missed your input on DV :D

Hey Liz...welcome back girl!! What other sort of things did ya do in Florida besides shop? Anything fun or interesting? Get a tan?

Anyways...nice to have you back! :D

Yay you back! Im sure you had lots of fun :) I cnat wiat to se you back in the chat room.

I'd like to hear about it.

The Eagle Has Landed in my old History class meant you did not finish a homework assignment so you didn't have to tell the teacher you didn't do it.

Well, i have a wonderful tan, besides shopping, i went to the movies, hung about on the beach and just generally took it easy. It must have been the most chilled out flight of my life!
As to the flight, taking off and then finding an hour later that you are 40,000 feet up, and that the temperature is -56 degrees is something quite exhilarating, especially when the clouds are below you as opposed to above you!
and there is nothing better than sunrise in the air, i had that on the way back, the plane was flying straight into the dawn, and because you are travelling at some 600 miles per hour, sunrise takes about 15 minutes!
I got some pictures of the sky from inside the plane, but i'm not sure they've come out.
I have decided that next time i go, i want to go snorkelling. There's also a wildlife park that i want to visit, tried to go this time around, but it was shut.
With regards to wild life, i saw lizards, the biggest cricket ever, and a green frog! (as in, lime green!) also i saw a great big owl...not sure what kind, and turkey buzzards, an armadillo (he was cute), fire ants, and a snapping turtle.
and i didn't step on one single anthill, i had been well warned.
anyway, that's enough for now, talk to you all later!

Welcome back! We all missed you!

Your holiday sounds awesome. I've never flown so I can only try to imagine it :(

PS. I really can't wait to see your pics

Haha you make going to Florida sound like an expedition into the Amazon or something. It's funny.

Yeah glad you had fun. And I too have seen some awesome sunrises/sunsets on the plane. And snorkeling is always a good time if the reefs are nice enough.

ah ha, you just didn't have the correct chemical assistance. dramamine and valium is the answer. i slept nearly the whole of my last 12 hours plane ride using this combo.

Well, i tried to get to sleep using a double whisky and coke, and a glass of wine, which only suceeded in giving me a mini hangover!!
And i thought about sleeping pills, but i didn't think they'd be allowed on the plane...

I don't see why not, as long as it's a legal drug.

At any rate, I'm glad that you had a lot of fun! Now you see why I like to fly.... even though I have yet to go on a long trip. But I'm also like you in that I can almost never sleep when I travel. Anyway, pictures!
