We’re flying out of Glasgow at around 6:30 in the morning so I’ll be leaving for the airport at 3:45. UGH! I’m going to try and get some sleep before we go but I’m not sure if I will be able to! I’m actually quite calm about the whole thing and I think the long flight has something to do with it. I don’t think any of us are looking forward to it. I so wish you could just beam over there like they do in Star Trek. I’m not afraid of flying or anything - just thought of all those hours and trying to keep myself occupied. We have such a long time to hang about the airport too but I guess it could be worse since we could be flying from Manchester or something which would’ve meant a three hour drive to get there.

We should get to Florida around 14:30 or thereabout so the first visit on the agenda will be Walmart for supplies for the villa. I’m not sure what we’ll be doing the rest of Saturday, I suppose it will depend on how tired we will be. What am I most looking forward to? Feeding dolphins at Seaworld and visiting the Space Centre!

I really wish the kids were coming with us as originally planned because I would have loved to have seen their little faces and I so wish I could share my adventures with Grandma when I come home. I’ll be thinking of her when I’m with the dolphins. I’d give up this trip in a heartbeat to have her back again with me but I know she’d kick my ass for even thinking that way and she would be so excited for us. I think losing Grandma is part of the reason I don’t feel as excited as I was when we were first discussing our trip. She has left such a big gap in my heart and I don’t think I’ll ever fill that place.

Okay, that wasn’t what I intended to say in this post. Be assured, I am looking forward to this trip and I’m going to have the best time I can possibly have. I will buy loads of gifts for the kids and spend money like it is going out of fashion in the malls.

Catch you all later!
