There’s a door inside to retrieve it. This way milk man didn’t bother you. Older houses here in our city in Canada had those as well. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why on earth was it so expensive? I’ve taken several Ubers to and from MCO and various parts of Orlando and the most expensive was around $50. From Daytona an hour away? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see, slept on the plane at least half of each flight.....7 hrs and the 4-5 hrs Got in about 6 to the apartment. Passed out at 8pm and slept til 7am....a decent sleep, only woke a couple times Went out to today just lunch, grocery for apt and then "nap" Laid down about 2pm it's now 10pm Going to stay up an hour or so and watch TV, read emails and try to go back to sleep with an assist from the doc (valium) Feel ok overall, just tired. BUT remember, my third and final knee replacement was only a few months ago after a year on sidelines, so fatigue is an issue for me. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw a post from someone else, actually a blogger on youtube who said one of the most interesting things he found was that they put beets on burgers. Just a heads up. Enjoy the cruise cannot wait to follow along. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
