A very long day


We are in Orlando! It was an adventure getting here, that's for sure. We left Des Moines at 6:30 am to drive to Omaha to fly our at just after 11 am. We were supposed to arrive in Orlando after a change of planes in Memphis, at 4:30 pm. Instead we arrived at 10:00 pm, and had to wait over 1 1/2 hours for our luggage . . . by the time we checked into the resort, it was after 1:00 am! Why? All due to a thunderstorm in Memphis, our connecting city. We had to land in Little Rock, refuel, and then go to Memphis after the storm had ended -bringing us in 2 1/2 hours late (so of course we missed our connection). We then had to fly on a different airline with another stop in Atlanta. 3 different airplanes and 4 stops - phew- I guess that is the adventure of flying!

Because we were so exhausted today after a day like yesterday- we went to Epcot instead of Magic Kingdom for our first day- and did a shorter day. Today was amazingly fun- I will post some pictures and stories later- I am going to bed!
