Florida, Here We Come!

After a week of facilitating and presenting to over a hundred of education leaders from overseas, I am more than ready for a holiday!

Heading south during March is a Canadian tradition!

The March Break exodus from the cold Canadian winter to a sunny warm place has been a long tradition  for many Canadians for years. The Toronto Pearson Airport is an extremely busy place comes the Friday before March Break. We are no exception to this Canadian tradition and always look forward to leaving the cold climate behind and enjoy some sunshine in sunny Florida ourselves!

Trying to avoid the mad rush at the Toronto airport, we purposely left a couple days later than everybody and boarded a West Jet flight and headed down south. After a brief stop at the New York Airport, we caught the connecting flight and arrived in Orlando, Florida, after almost a whole day of travelling.

Florida is our destination for this March Break holiday

What a nice feeling when we could just shed our heavy winter jackets, stroll outside with sweaters and shorts, smell the fresh air intoxicated with lush palms and other exotic tropical fragrant flowers and soak in the warm welcoming Floridian sunshine!

Our group has to stay in two separate hotels since everything has been booked up at one of the hotels.

My husband did all the planning of our great getaway!

    My husband and I are staying at the Howard       Johnson not far from the International Drive while Andrew's family is staying at the resort.

What makes us really happy is that our younger son is also joining us on this trip and he will be arriving at 11:45pm.

After we pick up the 7- people van from Enterprise, sign in the hotel, and enjoy a satisfying buffet dinner, we would be heading back to the Orlando Airport ( where we arrived a few hours earlier) to pick up our son.

We have not had a family vacation together with our  sons for a long time. Though E. cannot join us on this holiday, we have invited another family with young children to come and join us.

We are really looking forward to spending some fun and quality time together with our family at Disney and other parts of Florida!
