What an exciting day! Out of nowhere hubby announces that the two of us are off to Florida .... and within the next week
So over the next few days we book everything, as all we had were up-to-date ESTA's.
We book a cruise on the Disney Fantasy, a couple of nights at the Ron Jon Resort at Port Canaveral at the start of the holiday, and we finish off with 6 nights at the Pop Century
As you can imagine it was an exciting, but exhausting few days as we book everything, get washing done, pack, and I get my hair and nails done
So our itinerary looked like this
2nd ~ Night at Travelodge. Manchester Airport
3rd ~ Fly to MCO, Virgin VS075, check in at Ron Jon's Resort, Port Canaveral
4th ~ Kennedy Space Center
5th/12th ~ Disney Fantasy
12th/18th ~ Pop Century
Wednesday 2nd May
We didn't get away from home till 8.30pm, but the drive up to Manchester was a quiet one, and we arrived at the Travelodge at Manchester Airport at 10pm.
We used the check-in machine (which found our booking but didn't issue our room card), once the receptionist gave us our key we found our room on the 2nd floor. The rooms looked very sparse, with white walls and a white duvet, and the TV was old too.
We decided to pop down to the bar for a drinky, and the restaurant looked tired and cheap too. Now we've stayed here several times and most of those times were £10 rooms, but we felt quite disappointed at paying nearly £40 for this stay. I wish I'd spent another tenner on a room at the Premier Inn next door
Anyway after our drinks we went to bed around midnight
