Anatomy of an unrestful (but thoroughly enjoyable) vacation
Friday, 8/26: Leave New York City after rush hour for Methuen, Massachusetts. Arrive 11:30 pm. Saturday: Celebrate Lil Wil's 9th birthday (for the third time in one week). Sunday: Leave Boston's Logan Airport at 2:30; arrive in Orlando at 5. Rent car and check into Sheraton Vistana Resort by 6:30. Dinner at Ponderosa (blah!) at 7. McPhails arrive at 10 and enjoy (?) Pizza Hut for dinner at our room (actually, a 2 BR/2 bath timeshare unit with a full kitchen, balcony, and jacuzzi -- quite nice for a broke, urban missionary family who relished the providential blessings of Almighty). Monday: Enjoy the "Cascades" pool (1 of 7 at the resort) with Shayla Rose and the Brattli Bunch. Dinner at a Chinese buffet that didn't actually serve the buffet for dinner (?). Tuesday: Brunch with the McPhail's. Visit WonderWorks and play laser tag in the afternoon. Dinner at Race Rock. Wednesday: Attend obligatory timeshare sales pitch in order to secure discounts to theme parks. Ripley's Believe or Not in the afternoon, and dinner at Uncle Isaac's. Thursday: Magic Kingdom. Dinner with the Disney characters at the park. Friday: Typhoon Lagoon (abbreviated by a 45 minute thunderstorm and deafening/blinding/scary lightning strike inside the park). Dinner at Wolfgang Puck's Express at Downtown Disney. Saturday: Universal's Islands of Adventure. Dinner at Sizzler. Sunday: 10 am flight back to Boston. Celebrate big Wil's birthday Sunday night. Monday, 9/5: 12 pm road trip back to New York ($54 for 17 gallons of gas!). Dinner at Chez Del Rio with Boom2 and Bill.
