Venturing east to Orlando, we left the house Friday, June 9, 2000 at 7:00 a.m. Of course we couldn't get out of town without a truck break down. Randall called with an electrical fire and Greg had to get him going. Running 30 minutes behind schedule, it was still nice to leave in the morning for a mid-day flight instead of staying in a Phoenix hotel for an early morning flight.

Still a favorite of Preston and Greg's is the sky show. They both enjoy the jet ski tricks, the water skiing Starting the trip out right, Greg was excited to see the Cardinal Football Team plane. Though we didn't get to fly on it, we got an excellent view of it, and knew we were in for good luck on this trip.

Flying over Safford we were able to see the town and our house. As par for the course, someone always seems to get sick when we head for Florida. Preston woke up with an ear ache, the first in his life. Sure enough, being on the plane just made it worse. He unsuccessfully attempted to swallow his first aspirin. After several tries, he just chewed it.

Dad and Brooklyn sat behind Mom and Preston. Brooklyn kept dad busy talking most of the was while Preston took a long nap once the aspirin set in. We arrived in Florida early that evening and were at the time share before dark. As we arrived we saw the new registration desk had been completed. We were also very lucky to get our own unit for our first night. We always go down a day early and rent a room. This time they were able to give us our own unit, which meant that we got moved in that night and didn't have to worry about checking in the next day. It was great!

Pictures from Orlando 1999 Travel Our trip from June of 1999 was only 24 hours long, cut short by a family tragedy. The following four two pictures were special to us so we posted them on this year's trip.
