I woke up at 3:00 in the morning because my body clock was still on UK time so as far as it was concerned - it was time to get up. I stayed where I was since it was way too early and sent a few texts. I was still feeling queasy because it always takes me a couple of days to shake off a migraine. I was also pretty hungry too.

Once we were all organised it was decided we’d be heading to MK after a brief trip to the shops to pick up new trainers for those needing them. I was surprised we were hitting a park so soon after arrival but was all for it. We headed to the Ponderosa for their all you can eat breakfast buffet and were served by a really, pretty black woman with gold teeth! Since I was still queasy, I didn’t hold out much hope for breakfast since the idea was to eat as much as possible and make it last the whole day! I’m not a big breakfast eater but I really didn’t want to be starving the whole day so got stuck into French cinnamon toast and lots of fruit.

UGH! That says it all really. I did my best to catch some sleep on Friday night but it was to no avail - I was far too excited to sleep. We all went out for a meal that night and secured the cases in the car so it was after nine before I got home. I got ready for bed, determined to get a few hours sleep because lack of sleep literally makes me ill as you will see. I just tossed and turned. We had an advert for Disney World in the UK last year which showed a mum urging her excited kids to get to bed before they left on their holiday and moments later the kids are seen asleep while both parents are sitting at the end of their bed with their suitcases at their feet. That more or less sums it up for us all!

I arrived back this morning and am completely knackered. I’m trying to stay awake until my normal bedtime to get back into the UK time zone without too much bother. The holiday was mixed but I did enjoy it on the whole. Some things I liked, some things I didn’t like. I’m too tired to go into much detail and the flights were hell. I got a migraine on the flight out that really knocked me for six and the first night in Florida all I wanted to do was come home again. I was mostly okay on the flight back but just longing to be home again by that time. Long flights are nothing short of a nightmare when you are sitting in a cramped plane with hardly any room to move. Don’t even get me started on the whole take off and landing business which I totally hated - I was fine once we were in the air.

Florida was hotter than it was supposed to be this time of year and we were all really uncomfortable, of course, when we got back to Glasgow it was like walking from a hot oven into a fridge. I’ll post more about Florida and upload the pictures I took over the coming week when my head isn’t so stuffed with cotton wool. *yawns*
