Road trip around Florida Downtown Disney Day 9

Road trip around Florida Downtown Disney Day 9 Day 9 of our road trip does not start as we expected. It is a bit of a mess. We did our usual trip to MacDonald’s for the WiFi but later discover that it resets automatically after every 2 hours. So we stay for another 2 hours. […]

Road trip around Florida Legoland Day 8

Road trip around Florida Legoland Day 8 Today is a BIG Day. We had contacted Legoland, but somehow our emails to the promotional link on the web were never received. I tried calling 5 times, but it was always someone’s day off, or they were out or had some other reason.  Soon the 2 weeks […]

Road trip around Florida Lake Wales Day 7

Road trip around Florida Key West – Day 3

We had planned to leave Key West early. However, we couldn’t leave without visiting the southern point of mainland USA marker.

Road trip around Florida Key West – Day 2

Spending the night in our comfortable hired vehicle was quite an awesome experience. I should feel proud of myself for getting a comfortable air bed for me and my son. However, I realized that there are so many free-roaming chickens and roasters in the streets of Florida Keys. They made too much noise that might […]
