Welcome to my latest trip report. This features me, my hubby Paul and our daughters Kerry (25) and Becky (23) where we’ll be spending 10 nights in Florida, staying at the Pop Century. This holiday was originally booked to co-inside with the Star Wars Weekends, which a matter of days after we booked, it was announced that there wouldn’t be any SWW this year But don’t worry, this did not put us off
I was lucky that my last shift at work had been the previous Saturday evening, so that gave me a few days to get stuck into the packing, hoovering and to clean the house within an inch of its life and to wash, dry and iron any clothes that had been breathed on wrongly before anyone could complain that the item hadn't been worn in months
Yes it was 'mum gone crazy' time in our house. Paul was working right up until 4pm and the girls had finished work a few days ago and were kindly out the way while I got stuck into all the housework (why do we put ourselves through this? it isn't like the Queen is house sitting while we're away lol)
Anywho, today was another busy one, I took my mum to Coventry, which was closely followed by a hair appointment, then one final nail appointment. Kerry & Becky headed to Manchester that afternoon, then I had one final clear up and finished the packing
Paul arrived home around 5.30pm, and after a quick pizza we were heading up the M6 too
We sailed up the M6, and except for a 10 minutes delay where the M42 met the M6 Toll Road, the drive went really well
We arrived at the Premier Inn at the Trafford Centre at 7.50pm, and after checking in with the girls, Paul & I headed over to the shopping centre as I wanted a glass of Champagne or two to kick this holiday off nicely .. and one crafty Walk in the Tropics from TGI’s too
Tomorrow ~ Orlando bound !!
