Disney Done

We're back! I noticed that several of my posts have typos and spelling mistakes, mostly because of using the "T8" feature on the phone. Now I'm just wondering if I exceeded my bandwidth limit on the GPRS on the phone...

(Sun at the center of the D C A) My pedometer says we walked about 10 miles each day (23000 steps). We had a really fun time. The one thing which we hated was the coffee - only nasty Nescafe was sold in the park. Not many thrill rides but the others were very imaginative and charming.
