Oct. 26---on to Orlando----
It's about a 3 hour drive to Orlando.  We couldn't check in until late afternoon, so didn't bother leaving too early.   It was a pretty ride.  Even the Mt. Trashmore with the flocks of buzzards flying around them were interesting.

 We had lots of blue skies and puffy white clouds the whole way.
Typical countryside of southern Florida.
 Thanks to GPS, we maneuvered our way through Disney property to our Wyndham Resort---Bonnett Creek.  Originally I wasn't able to book that resort and we were going to stay about 20 miles away.  But  a couple weeks before our trip, a 1 bedroom and 2 bedroom unit opened up for the 3 nights we needed.  Yea!!!--We were able to use our VIP status to book the 1 bedroom for half the points and upgrade to the 2 bedroom free.  We hadn't planned on using the 2nd bedroom, but when we found out Sue and Nancy needed a place for their last night in Orlando, we figured why not offer it to them.  It was nice having their company.
 Sue told us about an all you can eat lobster place, so we decided to go there for dinner--Boston Lobster Feast.  It was a bit spendy at about $35/person, but the food was good.  I can't eat lobster and maybe could have eaten cheaper off the menu, but I managed to find plenty of none shell food fish on the buffet bar to keep me happy---like prime rib and london broil. 
 Ken can eat shell fish and devoured 3 lobsters and many more shrimp.
 I think Sue only managed to eat 2 lobsters.
 Nancy stayed back at the condo.  We tried to talk her into going swimming with us after they printed out their boarding passes, but she didn't want to.  So Sue and I spent another couple hours in one of the heated lazy rivers.  Good start to our mini Orlando vacation!
