A slow start to today after restless sleep. Breakfast was of the Anastasia-large variety, then chilling out for a while before getting ready to head out. I met Diane, a family friend and for once I was not in a towel, but clothes!! Diane goes diving with Anastasia sometimes. A bit later, Chris came and picked us up, Elicia throwing a bit of a spat as we left. We picked up Jen from work then headed off to Orlando. Traffic on the motorway was a bit slow, dead still at times, but we eventually got to Al and Susan’s place. Dinner was scavenged from whatever we could find, then it was some Xbox action courtesy of Chris where I got killed a lot. Then it was get changed into some nice clothes before heading out to one of the purposes of the trip. Pleasure Island in downtown Disney! I brought my camera to Orlando, then managed to leave it behind at the house. Doh! Pleasure Island was fun and interesting, full of people, lights, dancing and music. Al, Jen, Chris, Amanda, Amanda’s friend whose name escapes me, Anastasia and I went to Pleasure Island while Susan and Kev went to see the Last Samurai. Lisa stayed home as she was not well. In Pleasure Island we went to the Beach Club and played air hockey and pool and listened to some ok music. We (being Jen, Chris, Anastasia and I) went to the comedy warehouse for some stand up improvisational humour, which wasn’t bad. We went to the Adventurer’s Club which was humorous and colourful, decorated with all sorts of foreign masks, treasures and so on. We went to to Motion to dance to some crap music (or in my case pretend to dance and hope no one busts a gut laughing). We went to Live Music, which is the Pleasure Island Jazz club where we listened to Schleigo, a New York jazz quartet (piano, drums, bass, guitar) who were playing. Great black guy on bass, really talented. The music was good-ish and the atmosphere was superb. After chilling out there for a bit it was back to the Beach Club for a bit of classic rock then it was out to the main West End outdoor stage for the pseudo-New-Year’s-Eve countdown and fireworks. Then rejoin the clan and back to the house. Back at the house it was a matter of sorting out who sleeps where and drop everyone did. Except me, sitting up writing this damn thing so I don’t forget. Tomorrow it’s off to Magic Kingdom apparently. Oh yeah, I did call Nick back who said they didn’t receive my application, even though they’ve had a week. I’ll give it a few days then go back in and see what I can do.
