It's getting late on Thursday night and we are in a hotel near the Orlando Airport asd we have a wicked early departure tomorrow morning. Assuming, of course, that USAirways does not once again work in earnest to destroy the return portion of our trip, like they did on the outbound. My outlook is not positive.
The last day of our vacation was spent relaxing, paddle-boating on the lake at the place we were staying, and watching a couple of movies. Including one of the greatest movies ever...."Ferris Bueller's Day Off." We laughed a lot watching this with our friends. While CAL laid out by the pool, getting a superfun sunburn in the process, and the Boy fished, the stunningly patient SML and I slipped off to Sea World for a couple of hours. We rode Kraken again, which was a good time, and then did the Wild Arctic ride. We also saw the Dolphin show. This was a mistake. This is where Sea World has taken a serious dive. The Orlando Dolphin show has been Disney-fied. It's not about the dolphins - it's a ridiculous display of sappy music, cheesy choreography from a bunch of Cirque d'Soleil castoffs, even worse costumes, and a few divers way past their prime, still looking to earn a buck. The dolphins were secondary bit players at best. Tremendously disappointing! I can only hope that the San Diego show has not turned into this mess. I get what's happened here...the machine that is Disney infiltrates everything here. Sea World is not a Disney Park, but man, the people in this show could have been from the D-list cast of "The Little Mermaid on Ice." It really was awful. Both the stunningly patient SML and I were bummed.
Anyway, it's time to call it a night. 3AM is going to come way too early. I need a few hours of sleep in order to get ready to do battle with the enemy that is USAirways.
