Oh, yes.... with all the Hawaii talk, I almost forgot about Florida. The Mai-Kai is, as you all know or have heard, AWESOME! Like, totally gnarley and whatnot. It really is an island wonderland fantasy. That week, I took my 2nd and 3rd trips up there. Take advantage of 2 for 1 drinks everyday from 5 'til 7. 1/2 price appetizers 'til 6, and free sushi wednesdays. My pictures(coming soon) will tell more of the story than I'll type here.

I also had to check out Disney's Polynesian Resort. I made the sales rep I was working with at the Disney Resort get on the monorail and take me over there. What a beautiful compound. The detail, the lushness, the tikis! I almost cried. With the humidity and heat and those surroundings, I really felt as if I were in the islands. I guess my enthusiasm impressed him: as we were leaving he called the main office and told his boss that we were running late because I was humping tikis(not entirely true!). My stay there was short, just a quick walk-around so I can't comment on food or drinks, but I can't wait to get back. Again.... photos on the way.
