And so it begins. The alarm on my phone disrupts my all too short slumber for an important message: its time to fly. I obliged and by 540am my father and i began our departure to the sunshine state. Stopping in St. Louis for a connection, i have never been more social on 4 hours of sleep than I was on the two flights today. I met a friendly student from Edgewood in Madison who made the time fly as fast as the plane with her conversation. We also met an army ranger who swore like a sailor but was witty and had a funny accent. A quick cat nap thrown in there and we were off to the baggage claim. We had arrived.
Our hotel was right on a lake, which was separated only by our pool and jacuzzi. The hotel itself is crazy bare bones. No fridge, no microwave, but perfect for the price of 40 bones a slumber. This trip was done right from the start, on a budget.
After a swim and dinner at Joes Crab Shack where the puns ran rampant, we made our way to beautiful, and apparently too old, Amway Arena. Next season, it'll be replaced because the NBA requires teenage or younger arenas to house their teams. The matchup tonight was a strange exhibition match, as Orlando's opponent was....Moscow. Dad and i damn near fell asleep after the Magic went up 30 and put it's losers and rookies on the floor.
We night capped with Dippin Dots and passed out due to exhaustion. Day one complete.
