Flo Rida

Hi y'all! Been in Florida for a week now and experienced South Beach in Miami, Universal in Orlando and Kennedy Space Centre. South Beach is excellent, Universal was nice (the hotel there even more so!) and Kennedy Space Centre was crap.

Notions of America so far include:
- stereotypes hold true; southeners really do talk like in the movies and they converse about guns (overheard a conversation by some people from Georgia in the pool)
- some words in British English just are not understood; queue anyone?
- it's far more safe than made out to be
- toilets here are weiiiiird (won't go into details on that one)
- it's shopping wonderland!!! Assuming you manage to find the bloody shops

Drama so far has included mainly Meredith's plane/luggage adventure that is still ongoing. If you see Meredith's luggage, let us know!

I'm off to get a manicure. Compliments of the cheapycheap dollar.

  1. Funny that comment about guns. Finnlanders are supposedly AWESOME with guns! Having defeated Russia in the thirties, you all continue to do so well usually in the biathalon...the contest combining skiing and shooting! Cheers!
