Tropical Storm

So we were supposed to have a visit in Central Florida from Hurricane Ernesto. However while passing the gulf, he turned into a tropical storm. Luckily, all we have seen is a bunch of lousy wind and rain. Today was my only day off this week and It poured. Sean and I went to downtown disney and had Earl of Sandwich. Later on I went to PF Changs at the Mall at Millenia for dinner with Knut and his Norweigan friend. I then spent the rest of the night watching tv and scrapbooking. Its nice to stay in and listen the the rain fall outside.

Halloween in August

Im not sure whos idea this was, but it was alot of fun, last night a bunch of us Canadian girls had a little Halloween party and got all dressed up. Tracy and I were Pirates (Pirates of the Carribbean that is!) We then went to Pleasure Island!

Pool Party

Yesterday the Disney International program threw a pool party for us!!! There was a dj, pool games, pizza and Mickey and Donald Duck were there!! haha It was lots of fun even though the Canadians were only represented by about 5 of us. I guess everyone else was at work! Anyways we had alot of fun!

Florida's Gulf Coast!

Here are my pictures from my trip to Redington Beach this weekend...

Happy Birthday Bettina!

The other night it was my roomate Bettina's Birthday so we went to Chillers to celebrate!

MK with Geoff and Carly!

I took Geoff and Carly to the Magic Kingdom early Wednesday morning! We had tons of fun and dressed up in Pirates of the Carribean costumes. We also got ice cream with chocolate mickey ears!

Geoff and Carly are here!

My great friend Geoff from back home and his girlfriend Carly are here right now! Today we rented a car and drove to Clearwater on the gulf coast. It was absolutely gorgeous and we had an amazing day! Neither of them had ever felt water so warm. We bought air mattresses and floated around all day at the beach. Loves it!

After the beach...

After a wonderful day at the beach we headed back to Orlando. Even though we got a little lost along the way, we had fun and took funny pictures. We went out for dinner at Wolfgang Puck in Downtown disney. It was really nice and the food was awesome! It was so good to have them visit!

Cowboy Karaoke

Last night for Canadian Girls we went to Old Town and sang Karaoke. It was lots of fun and we all had a good time singing our little hearts out!

SUNSET!!!

Tonight Gary and I listened to Country music and watched the sun set from my balcony!

French Toga party

Last night the French guys held a going away party for Patrice. It was toga themed and was lots of fun! I hadn't been to an International party for a long time... Au revoir Patrice!!!

Mexico!

This morning I had a Jackson Triggs Wine Tasting seminar at work. We also got to try some new items from the fall menu, which were very delicious! I worked til 4 and then Tracy and Pierre Luc came and met me and we went and got Margaritas in Mexico. We then had dinner in the Mexican restaurant. It was sooooo good! Our server Pablo was awesome and the food was amazing! We then went on the Mexican Boat ride! We walked around World Showcase after and had a really fun night!

Best Lime Margaritas ever!!!

Here I am with my neighbor Jose Luis!
Trying on Mexican Ponchos.

Savannah Georgia!

I just returned home from a visit to the oldest planned city in America! It was beautiful! There was so much history and I felt so relaxed the whole time! Savannah is also the most haunted city in America. We stayed in a boutique like hotel in the center of town which had a courtyard in the middle and an afternoon tea which we attended and listened to the live piano and jazz singing. It was the perfect two day getaway with an American history lesson included!

We went to the square where Forest Gump is filmed, where he sits on the bench and tells his story.
The feather in Forest Gump floats down from this church.
Some historic buildings in Savannah. They were beautiful!

I'm doing just Peachy!!

Talk about being in the South!! It was funny hearing people talk in their southern accents. You ask someone how they're doing, and they respond "Just Peachy! How ya'll doing?" Brad and I also became addicted to Sweet tea on this trip. It is like ice tea but much sweeter! Here we are sitting in famous Montgomery Square.

The Mercer Mansion which the book and movie "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" is based upon. There are many stories about this house. Very interesting stuff!!
Forsyth Park fountain.

Yay for days off!!

I am really excited to have the next two days off! The plan is to go to Savannah Georgia on a road trip with Brad, Jen and Renata who also have those days off. Savannah is supposed to be gorgeous and I can't wait to see another state.

P.S. I am missing everyone at home more than ever right now! Sometimes I wish I could hop on the next flight home... it was hard not to come home with my family!

PICTURES!

This last week I have been super busy and I have not had a chance to post any pictures. My parents and brother have been here since last Monday and my cousin Sarah and uncle Steve have been here since Sunday. We have done so many things, I have been very lucky to have so much time off from work.

We stayed at the Boardwalk for a few nights! I absolutely love it there, there is so much to do, and its right on the water. It was nice and relaxing! Alicia came over one day and we rented a Surey bike and drove it all around the boardwalk and over to the Yacht and Beach CLub. It was lots of work, but really funny!
We went to Epcot and later had dinner at Le Cellier! Later me, my mom and Gary went to the Magic Kingdom for Extra Magic hours and stayed til 2 am. It was tons of fun!
We went to Disney's Blizzard Beach water park. It was great! They have the tallest waterslide in the world called the Summit Plummit! "Disney legend has it that after a freak winter storm blanketed the area with snow, Florida's first ski resort was born. When temperatures returned to normal, the powdery snow turned to slippery slush. Slalom courses, bobsled and toboggan runs became downhill waterslides. The chair lift carried swimmers instead of skiers. The ski jump became the tallest, fastest waterslide in the nation."
