From Leaving on a jet plane...don't know when I'll be back again... in Orlando, United States on Oct 21 '05

Magic Kingdom was as I expected it is really for the kids. Wonderful to see and hear their delight but I was looking for a little more adventure (Space Moutnain was far too tame not my cup of tea, or teacup as the case may be) so I went to MGM! This was way cool and did the Aerosmith Rock 'n' Roll rollercoaster (choice) and the Tower of Terror (wicked) before watching the parade of movie characters and making my way over to enjoy plenty of time at Epcot. I LOVE EPCOT! It's the best. Did the cool Space Mission simulator and spent considerable time at World Showcase, an area with food and drink and 'culture' from other countries. Being by myself I identified a strange feeling I have had a couple of times here (in Vegas and at Magic Kingdom) which I am coing the "Truman Syndrome) when you stop and look around and realise NOTHING is real. It's bizarre.... eerie almost. And witnessed the visually dynamic fireworks display at Epcot - blows all others out of the water and I meant that literally as well as metaphorically!!

I got kinda bored being stuck in Orlando for a week but made the most of it, caught some sun, tore up the outlet mall (Calvin, Ralph and Tommy all love me) got so much awesome stuff sooo cheap. Dropped about a grand NZ but got CK jeans, Guess jeans, a guess jumper, Nike shox, Adidas trainers, hot Nine West boots, 3 CK jumpers, one beautiful CK jacket, Ralph Lauren down puffer vest, two CK pretty tops, two Nike gym outfits, So that's my winter gear for London sorted yippee! So glad I didn't bring winter stuff with me it has been sooo hot this whole trip! So in Orlando i took myself off to see the Heat play the Magic - I LOVED it! the b.ball was so much better than the Cowboys game (but I loved that too just for the atmosphere). Shaq is the man! He makes SpongeBob (who was also at the game) look like a midget. Cool experience. Also went to Universal CityWalkon saturday night (like Pleasure Island at Disney just a cool place full of clubs and bars and restuarants, entertainers, DJs, bands) and had dinner at Bob Marleys - Sun is Shining jamaican curry. Stopped by Margaritaville, NBA City bar, the Latin Quarter, Hard Rockand just hung out and met people. So many Southern Floridans in Orlando due to the hurricane it was pretty major. Power is not back on in a lot of places and there is considerable damage I met lots of people whose homes have been badly affected. They have had some bad luck these last couple of years. And also went to downtown Orlando for the Halloween festivities (crazy crazy crazy, you name it someone was dressed up as it) and to see Club Paris, Paris Hilton's nightclub. Downtown was packed what a mad environment, really rocked it up. Also attended the Hay House conference in Orlando and heard some of the most inspiring speakers ever. That deserves a blog of it's own so I will do that when I get some more time.

I LOVE EPCOT! It's the best.
