The Pumpkins Pop to Florida for the 1st time (Aug11) :Index:
Seems my writing a trip report live went out of the window whilst in Orlando, so now I'm back, I'll start typing it all up after religiously writing it out in a diary whilst there!
************************************************** The Cast Me - Mrs Pumpkin online, Michelle in real life - 34 years old and a plus size chick who is on the shrink, having lost 5 stone this year (so far). From my perspective, I'll be giving other plus-size dibbers my experience as a plus-size guest. Him - Steven19720 online, Steve in real life - 38 years old and I think even more excited than me about going to Florida! Wants to try many American delicacies including catfish and corndogs (among other things!) So there will be lots of pics of food in our report! The boy - my son and Steve's step-son, Liam - 12 years old and very excited about visiting Orlando. ************************************************** I love photography and take a LOT of photos, so my trip reports will be as photo heavy as a post allows! Most of the photos in my trip report were taken by me on my iPhone4, which I used the most because it was easy to carry around with me. Some days I did use one of the 3 Lumix cameras - the DMC-FZ18, the DMC-TZ18 and the waterproof DMC-FT2 - that we also took with us! Full sets from each day can be found on my Flickr. You can also follow my photos on Instagram - @cherry_o or if you don't have an iPhone, online at Statigram. I'm slowly adding videos that we took to my YouTube channel The Pumpkins Pop to Florida for the 1st Time Pre-Trippie Home a week: A first timers highs, and not so highs! Day 0 -To Gatwick & Beyond!

My "as close to live as I am going to get" day 0 is now up - I will try and catch up, but finding time is hard! I'm keeping a good hand-written diary though, ready to be typed up either during the rest of our trip or back home!

Day 1 is now up - it was painful to type up on this net book, so I think I may wait now till we get home to England to do the rest!

Dozy - thank you
At the top of each trip report day I've got links to both my Flickr and instagram where you'll find all my pics from that particular day - I've not uploaded any recently as having too much fun to be uploading! We're home by the weekend  so I'll be doing more then! I've got 20 more days to write about  And thank you to all for the compliments about my trip report and photos
