Rare Denversail Posted April 4 Author #102 Share Posted April 4 We are at the airport by our gate. Our middle economy seats have been assigned to us. We are now in Chophouse trying to order breakfast. Time will tell. It doesn’t matter! We are on vacation! 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Denversail Posted April 4 Author #104 Share Posted April 4 We have made it to Orlando. We picked up our bags and rental car without issue. It took us about 50 minutes to make our way over to the Hotel in Cocoa Beach. Looks like we won’t make our dinner. Mr. IT wants a drink and it is almost 6:30. We will be back on schedule tomorrow. Mr. IT will be posting hotel pics soon. Spoiler alert… they don’t look like the online pics. When we checked in they tried to claim I had booked a different room. I won that argument. 😁 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Denversail Posted April 4 Author #106 Share Posted April 4 Chophouse at the airport didn’t go well. Our waitress was Crazy Lady. She actually introduced herself that way after we had waited 20 minutes to put in our order. Our food came when we had about 10 minutes before boarding. Our gate was on the opposite end of the terminal. I thought we were fine since we could just scan the code on the table to pay. We tried to do this but someone else’s bill came up. We finally flagged down crazy lady and she informed us that we can’t pay that way because the prior group skipped their bill (I can make a few guesses why). She says she will bring us our bill. Another 10 minutes passes and she comes back over. She is like oh you didn’t get the bill. Well ya didn't bring it?? She then attempts to get Mr. IT’s credit card. Given the confusion he objects and says he wants to see the bill first. She then presses for his credit card. He holds firm and she stomps away. She made him pay for it by taking her sweet time coming back. Once again I found myself sprinting for the gate. 4 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Denversail Posted April 4 Author #107 Share Posted April 4 The outside area with the tiki bar is very nice. The weather is lovely. We will be sitting here enjoying a few drinks. Flight details coming soon. It was the most uncomfortable flight I have been on in years. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. IT Posted April 4 #108 Share Posted April 4 We have arrived in Orlando, terrible flight, bumped from 1st class to a seat that doesn't recline because they cram you into a 2 x 4 space sitting at a 90 degree angle for 3 hours while a 3 year old sitting behind me kicked the ***** out of my chair for the first hour, forcing me to find another seat. Fortunately I found an empty spot right in front of my seasoned sailor and finally found a little peace for the next 2 and a half hours. I'm ready for the beam me up to my next location technology to advance, flying used to be fun as a kid, as an adult, it's a miserable experience. OK, enough ranting, Vacation Mode has been powered on, drinks are being consumed, LET'S GO 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Denversail Posted April 5 Author #109 Share Posted April 5 We ended up making another reservation at Florida’s Fresh Grill. Just started ordering. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Denversail Posted April 5 Author #110 Share Posted April 5 We started with clam chowder and salad. We enjoyed both. They were delicious. I think Mr. IT ordered Ribeye for dinner. I ordered shrimp and scallops. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Denversail Posted April 5 Author #112 Share Posted April 5 My scallops melted in my mouth. The shrimp was okay. Mr. IT liked the ribeye at first but as he kept eating he thought it was a little salty. We both hated the sides. Overall we thought dinner was okay. The prices weren’t terrible. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will have no sea days this trip. Mr. IT hasn’t been on a vacation since our Hawaii trip in 2022. We did a weekend of Glamping last summer but I’m not sure that I would really count that as a vacation. He has been stuck at home with the dogs lately while I travel the world. At least that is how he describes it. 😂 Have fun on your cruise! I am on Allure right now and as always having a great cruise. The only downside was it rained today so I stayed on the ship instead of enjoying Coco Cay. I felt bad for some people I talked to today who had never been to Coco Cay before. I have been there over 30 times, so not a big deal to me staying on the ship today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t call it luxury but the outdoor facilities are fantastic. It includes walking access to the beach. That tiki bar can’t be beat. We walked to dinner and didn’t notice any nicer or newer hotels in the area. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Denversail Posted April 5 Author #118 Share Posted April 5 I don’t know what is happening. I’m an early riser. It is 5 am and I’m up. I head down to the lobby in my pj’s. I do this all the time and normally just see staff. Now people are every where in their PJ’s. I eventually decide to follow all the people to see why they are up. They are all coming down to the pitch dark beach. I’m not sure why yet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Denversail Posted April 5 Author #120 Share Posted April 5 Mr. IT is going to be so jealous. It was a launch! That was amazing to watch from the beach. My pictures aren’t great. What a cool experience. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Denversail Posted April 5 Author #121 Share Posted April 5 We LOVE Cocoa Beach! This is the cutest little town. Love all the shops and art. We made it to Simply Delicious for breakfast. Just enjoying our morning checking things out. We will definitely be coming back here. Bummed our day got cut short yesterday. We would have enjoyed a lot more time here. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
