Back to reality

Yesterday we got back from Orlando at about 7 pm. Turns out I needed to finish a project for my lit class. The project asked us to create a toolbox in which we would use numerous assignments of a major text generated throughout the year… AND now I found myself having to finish this major project… yeah.

The trip was pretty fun; it was a very eventful and surprising trip. Of course it wasn’t very well planned, so it gave space to the unexpected and chaos. The drive over there was pretty nice and comfortable, until… we arrived to Orlando and the GPS went crazy and we missed an exit and had to make a U-turn in the farthest place ever, only to miss the exit again due to the crazy GPS…

The plan was to leave Weston at 11 and get there at 3 to go shopping. But we got lost from 3 to 4 where we kept trying to find the exit from the highway to a road that led us to the giant mall we kept circling. Time flew and everyone in the van was getting anxious to get out of the car we´d been in for the past 5 hours… suddenly we hear a weird noise. It was the tire. We think it was the temperature change in the tires after having been in the hot asphalt from the turnpike to a necessary U-turn crossing the grass that created the grapefruit sized balloon on the tire. We were very concerned of that grapefruit bump in our tire, what if it exploded in the middle of the highway! Who knows what would have happed…

So we stopped on the side to call the roadside help insurance Daniel, my boyfriend and driver, called  the insurance card number his mom gave him, but because it was his mother´s card she had to be there! And what? Is she going to drive all the way to Orlando to save us? No! So we waited until she added Daniel to the insurance card. When they called he was listed in the card a roadside helper showed up. The helper is specifically for the “i-4” and he changed our tire for free!  We felt so lucky… that took 2 hours… so it was already 6 and we were road dirty and wanted to go shopping! J

                …. And so we did…

That same day we were going to meet up with some friends that live in Orlando, whom we know from school in Cancun. They were going to see us at the Premier Outlet, and we waited for hours! The crazy thing is that we were supposedly at the same store in the same mall ( at the door) obviously we had to have found each other hours ago! …. TURNS OUT… they were at ANOTHER mall with the same NAME!!!!!!!!!!!! What?

Ok, ok …  so we found each other and we slept over at their house- to get ready for the next day—PARK DAY! WUHU—

Daniel and me were ready by 7 and we tried getting everyone ready as well; but, it didn’t work, our friends from Orlando had the annual pass and had visited the parks approximately… a MILLION TIMES! …so we went to the parks at 11 and we bought tickets for Island of Adventures and enjoy a thrilling day and meet Hogwarts! But the parks weren’t accepting the annual passes at Islands… so we went to change the tickets for Universal Studios J

I had never been there, and there was going to be a free “30 Seconds to Mars” concert at night. We had a good day and enjoyed the rides and shows at Universal Studios. Took lots of pictures … then went to sleep late and got ready to go get a new tire the next morning. The next morning Natalia´s memory card went crazy and we lost all the pictures we took at Orlando.

Such an eventful trip and not even one evidence of it.

Does anybody have a lucky clover for me?
