On Saturday morning we packed up the car and embarked on a journey that took us 10 hours to Kissimmee in Florida aka Disneyland. Finally...a 'Road Trip' to justify my mileage!
Our route from North Carolina took us South through South Carolina, through Georgia and into Florida, we hung a right somewhere close to Daytona Beach and wound our way to our destination. So why did we decide to 10hr drive it rather than 1hr fly it? I don't really know. Because we could? Partly because we didn't have to totally minimise our packing? Because people here just do...drive...such long distances? I also thought (much misguided by a 10 year previous Californian road trip) that the geography and sights would change and afford us to see more of the 'Country'. Not so. On the East Coast I can report that everything on the Interstate looks every bit the same from start to finish, apart from a couple of river deltas in Georgia.
So we're here. In the land of Disney. The sun is shining. The kids are chomping at the bit. Let's see if Walt can work a little bit of his magic on this old sceptic?
