Home Sweet Home

Yes we are home! Really miss home. Realise that we slowly felt in luv with Utah, its environment & its people. Hee i like cold weather than hot hee.

We all enjoy the florida trip ;) The 1st 2 days we spent our time in Disney. We took photo with Mickey & Minnie ;) They so so cute. Went ard the theme park watching shows and taking rides (hee not me la, i timid, no dare to take those thrilling rides). I took the simply rides and teacup ride that i miss so so much. But the guys were very naughty, they kept spinning the wheel and the cup kept spinning & spinning...

The most memorable of 1st day had to be the night parade & fireworks!! Its so mesmorising!! All disney characters were out and their costumes had light bulbs!! And the firewks were magical. The scene was breathtaking and the firewks lighted up the Cinderalla castle and a real tinkerbell flew fr the castle to another building. The firewks lasted for so so long, all of us and others just simply sat down and watch the fireworks.

On the 2nd day, we went to MGM to watch all the stunts, thrill rides and musical shows. Again, if you asked me what was the most memorable, i got to say the 'Beauty & the Beast' musical. Its so so stunning and touching. And we were shocked when an ang mog old lady teared! Also, not forgetthing the fantasmic show. Its similar to sentosa musical fountain but triple in spectacularity! Disney is really magical & impressive!!

Wanna upload some photos but dear dear yet to upload into this laptop. We will do a photobook for this trip. Perhaps do one for yellowstone too.

Hee dear dear bought me an eehore soft toy. I luv it so so much. Just in case, he is the donkey in winnie the pooh. Now i hug it every night. Somehow, i realise his face resemble toby ;p

Ok the sad part...i got real bad sunburnt or its called red flashes. Its was really hot, 95f. Initially was thinking it will be nice if its was cloudy, with no sun. But realise that God had watched over us indeed. The rest of the east were experiencing thunder storms while we had sunshine, beautiful pics. Actually before we went, i did a weather search, it was supposed to be thunderstorms for the entire trip. But we experienced none, only a short shower on 1st day. Really thkful.

Oh ya talking abt my skin. Just within 1st day i got heat rashes. Then i realised that my skin was sensitive to direct heat. It wld be red & itchy. The rest was ok. So thereaft, i took an umbrella and helped a great deal. Now my skin is recovering. Peeling off the skin. Dear was actually amazed but my healing rate!! Haha and the gang said that i am 'candle lady'. I can only come out at night haha. Ya lo, i also forget when was the last time i had been out in the sun for that long ;p

My resolution, i shld consider getting uv clothing!! Haha!! Yes there is something known as uv clothing that protect u fr uv rays. Its available at cabela's (a hunting store). Will ask dear dear to bring me there one day.

Ok where was I. Subsequently, we went to Daytona USA Nascar speedway. Only till that day, i cld better comprehend why men luv cars & speed. It was really very educational for me. Hee there was a simulation game to see who had the fasting lap speed...and u know what..i came in 1st amg the girls...We were utterly shocked!! As i m the only one who can't drive!! And to start off i had problms getting out of the garage!! Nice surprise. As for the guys, dear dear came in 1st. Kind of expected hee ;p

Ending our stay in orlando, we drove to miami. 3 and half hours' drive. We stopped by fort lauderdale, the venice of america, and took a cruise. Wow wow wow. Totally stunned by the beautiful homes along the river bank.

The next day we went to Key West. To me it was the highlight of the trip!! Superb. We took a yacht out and did kayaking, snorkelling & watching the beautiful sunset on the yacht!! We kayak in the middle of the alantic ocean!!! The water was only 4-5feet deep. Somehow in the middle of the ocean, there is a mangrove and moving sandshore. We went down fr the yacht and kayak, looking at the nature and birds. Thereafter, we did snorkel!! Yes, i can snorkel hee despite i can't swim. Thk God for the invention of float and life jacket. It was a very very memorable experience!! As i can't swim much, dear dear held my hand thru out and lead me to see the fishes, reef & lobsters!! Really thk God for dear dear's loving hand ;)

Then, we sat down to watch the beautiful sunset which key west was famous for and a beautiful yacht. It was really so so beautiful to watch the sun submerge into the oceanline. Little did i realise that sunset actually happens so fast till that day.

The nxt day, we headed back to miami and went to everglades national park. Once again, i am really thkful for God's provision. You see, i took out this item fr the itineary as reviews said that july you may not see the aligators as its high tide and too warm for them. But u know what, before we reached the destination, there was a heavy downpour while we were hvg KFC. And the tour guide said, u had a better chance to seeing them aft the rain as aligators like the cooling weather. Indeed, we saw countless of them!!! Really thkful.

Hee hee, the next day we went to the nude beach. And we saw nude bodies laying all ard. And you know what proportionally we saw more males than females!!!! Guess a lot are gays ;p We were the only ones with clothes on haha. So aft a while we left and headed to miami south beach. Actually you can see ladies taking off their tops to sunbath in south beach. We actually saw a couple just next to us!! We girls just chatting away talking abt the size, shape blah blah blah..;p

Thereaft, all of us headed into the water and play ball. The water was very salty. But i really enjoyed my time in the water. It was fun to hv the waves hitting on you. Indeed, south beach was beautiful. You can see the ocean in variant shades. Its gorgeous.

Finally, on Sat, we headed home to Salt Lake City. On the way, they started to discuss the next destination..Hmm let's see how. Now pocket got a hole already ;p Mend the hold first ;p

Oh ya, did i share i lost my hp!!! Ya i lost my US hp while taking one of the thrill ride. With the turning and twisting, plus perhaps my pocket is shallow, its just went disappeared!! ;(
