How about Disney?

I spent a few nice days in beautiful Naples, Florida last week. On the second day I somehow got burned on the socket area of my shoulders and around my knees and inside of my thighs. It was an odd experience. I was hoping to get a great tan while I was there but had to settle for a tinge of color instead. C'est la vie.

The group went to Orlando on Sunday and stayed until Tuesday morning so we would be there for the whole day Monday. I was the only one without kids so it was similar to a 3rd wheel situation. We stayed at the
Pop Century Resort
. We found out later that it used to be housing for Disney workers that they dressed up to turn into another revenue center. It wasn't the nicest place but, then again, it was a fraction of what the other resorts were.

I flew Spirit Airlines on the trip from Detroit (DTW) to Fort Myers (RSW) and from Orlando (MCO) back. It was inevitable that you would start getting charged for everything on a flight. I understand charging for alcohol, snacks, soda, and juice. The two bucks for a coffee surprised me though. Before the 9:30AM trip back I got a 16oz fresh cup of (quality) coffee and a cinnamon roll big enough to hold me over until the afternoon for a total of $4.00. I never thought I would feel like I got a good deal buying something in an airport. That is how the saying goes though, there is a first time for everything.
