blogfail.

Okay. I have been an epic blogging failure this week. I have only blogged once, and I have some serious reading to do. I am so behind in the blogging world. Its sad. I seriously have just been so tired and busy! I will quickly list some of the amazing things I have already done here in Florida.. which is pretty much everything I have wanted to since how I only have one more day here? =(

Here is my Travelblog.

It will probably be boring, just warning you.

Magic Kingdom the first night. We already hit our favorite attractions such as Pirates and Splash Mountain... and of course the fireworks. There is a new show now AFTER the fireworks. Making memories or.. let the memories begin.. or something. Incredible. Disney is magical. I seriously get tingles so easily here.
We went to Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure.. hitting up The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Yes, for anyone out there who doesn't already know this exists.. ITS FOR REAL!! It opened up last June. Honestly it was incredible. There is Zonko's Joke shop and Hogsmeade and chocolate frogs and Ollivander's Wand Shop and Honeydukes and butterbeer  and the Portrait of the Fat Lady inside the Hogwarts Castle.. (Yes.. you can actually tour inside..) but back to the butterbeer... it actually tastes exactly how you think it is going to taste. I feel like I have officially been to Hogwarts and back this week.
We went to the Premium Outlet Mall. This was kind of a disaster day in the end because we actually didn't have a meeting spot and Chad ended up waiting for us on a bench for the same hour that Sher and I ended up waiting for Chad on a bench. Bleh. But.. there was a Victoria's Secret outlet. There was hardly any underwear and swimsuits and stuff, but there was clothes galore. I seriously got so much for so cheap. I know this just sounds so boring but it has honestly been one of my highlights this week.
We went to Hollywood Studios and watched Fantasmic which is 10984203948203948203x better than we expected.
We went to Animal Kingdom and the Epcot Center and hit up all of our favorite attractions there of course. We have eaten Turkey Legs and popcorn and pretzyls and jelly bellys until our stomachs ache, but it has been the best, ever.
We have gone to the Siesta Keys and rode the waves and I even fell asleep in the sand for a glorious hour. I am in love with the ocean, all over again.
We are spending out last day at Blizzard Beach, which I am just thrilled for. We haven't really been into the Waterpark thing our other times here. I went to Aquatica a few years ago, but I have heard such amazing things about Blizzard Beach. There are chairlifts up to the waterslides people. Hallelujah. My aching calves and blistered feet are thrilled.
Naturally, we will be spending out last night at the Magic Kingdom, because that truly is where dreams come true. =)

And.. my internet connection is horrendous so I cannot even upload some cool pictures for you to look at. Please forgive me!

Passport and Lays

First things first.

I'm pleased to say that:

 Orlando greeted me with the nicest weather I've ever experienced on my trips here. 

90+ degrees is feeling fabulous.

The airport has officially completed the renovations on the ceiling

The airport smells the same.. a hint of mildew. 

The grass is still thick. Like quack grass kinda.. only not.

Okay world. Mishap of the trip #1.

As I left my little home for the 2 hour drive to Calgary so I could sleep at my aunt's house and catch my plane the next morning, I thought to myself, "I hope I didn't forget anything.." I looked at my dad and then came to the conclusion that all I needed was a passport and my wallet and I could buy anything else that was necessary. He laughed and agreed.

The next morning I woke up early early early and was just making sure I knew where everything was so I could get through the airport check-in and security as quick as possible, and as my hand reached around the bottom of my backpack, I knew something was missing. I suddenly felt my entire body fit into my esophagus. Thats how big the lump in my throat was. My wallet was gone. I closed my eyes and remembered taking it out of my backpack at 7 eleven on my car ride to Calgary. I definitely had no recollection of putting it back into my backpack. I quickly searched my suitcase, but it was no use. I knew. I text my dad who was sleeping, I'm fairly certain, and said..

"Dad.. does my wallet happen to be in the jeep :( "

It was. 

About a million thoughts passed through my head.

Some from.. who needs money anyway...

all the way to.. I'm stuck in Calgary when Sher and Chad are at the Magic Kingdom and I'm never going to make it there..

Oh wait. 

Thank goodness I had my passport.

The taxi was already outside, and ever so generously, my uncle paid my cab fare. I didn't even have a quarter. 

I get really nauseous in airports and on airplanes... especially early in the morning, so there was no way I could eat breakfast. Not to mention I didn't have time. Bleh. 

But during my two hour layover in Houston by 2 in the afternoon..., I was hungry. 

Everyone was eating. And to top it off, the lady sitting across from me decided she wasn't hungry and threw away her meal. 

So wasteful. I remembered that at that stupid 7 eleven that cost me my wallet for the trip, I bought a bag of Lays Salt and Vinegar chips and only ate half the bag. 

I opened my backpack and found a half a bag of smooshed S&V chips calling my name.

So good.

I eventually arrived in Orlando where my sister and brother in law picked me up at the airport holding two fibre bars and a mountain dew. They are the greatest.

Apparently you can email money. I emailed my trip savings into their account this morning and took out the cash. No problemo.

The first thing I learned this trip, is the only thing you need to travel is your passport.

And a half a bag of Lays S&V chips.

I can already smell the humidity.

Ahh.. at last.

 It is here.

 I have been waiting for this day for far, far too long.
