We spent last week in Orlando since we had an RCI Timeshare exchange that was going to run out. We were lucky enough to find a resort that had a 2 bedroom unit available. That being the case, we invited our friends in Tampa, Jim and Donna Henry to join us. They arrived several days after we did but we got plenty of time to visit, sight see, shop and dine together.
Carol and I found an Elks Lodge in Orlando that was quite active so we went there for dinner on 2 evenings before Jim and Donna arrived. The Lodge had music for dancing both evenings. The Saturday evening was very nice since they had a ballroom dance group attending and we got to see a lot of really good dancing. One couple did a Tango demonstration which was quite professional.
We also went there with Jim and Donna one evening for dinner and entertainment. The members put on a variety show which was very good. They have some excellent talent in the lodge. Here we are at the Lodge.
Later in the week the four of us visited the Catholic Basilica in Orlando. It is know as Mary, Queen of the Universe Shrine.A very beautiful church and more modern than I expected. Here we all are at the shrine.
The most exciting event of the week was on Wednesday when I realized I had left my credit card at the Olive Garden restaurant the on Monday!! As soon as I realized it we drove to there and they had the card in the safe waiting for me ..... along with a whole stack of other cards according to the manager!!
All in all it was a good week and visiting with Jim and Donna made it all that more enjoyable.
We recently came across your blog and just wanted to stop by and say "hi". Sounds like you had a wonderful time in Orlando!
