Friday, February 8

The time has finally come. This is our first morning in Florida, and we're thrilled to be here! Our first flight yesterday from Saskatoon took us to Toronto, for a brief stop, and then on to Ottawa for about a 3-hour layover. Going through customs was fairly easy, and then our wait was in a smaller area until our flight to Orlando was ready. During that time we already knew there was a huge snowstorm brewing in the New England area, that was going to also affect the Toronto area. We discovered by the time we were boarding from Ottawa, that we probably missed the cancellation of flights in Toronto by just a few hours! We are so thankful that our plans did not get altered. Arriving in Orlando, we felt the warm breeze on our faces as we found our way to the Enterprise car rental place. We got a silver Toyota Yaris. We took a wrong turn getting out of the airport, so we got an extra look around until we found our way out and on our way to the hotel. The hotel is absolutely fabulous - so grand and posh. We've done a little exploring around the different levels, but there's so much more to see. The weather promises to be hot and sunny today - Saskatoon is so far away! Now it's time to have our breakfast in the café area, with many choices there too.
