Give me my coffee and no one gets hurt!!!
Hi everyone! We're back in Sydney.

Landed yesterday morning at 6:25am and was in a cab by 7:15. Pretty amazing for Sydney airport!

Had a blast! Highlights for each part below.

Disneyland in LA
World of Colour display in California Adventure Park
Kids making their own remote control cars in Downtown Disney
Early entry as we stayed in a Disney Hotel. Got all the good rides in early before the crowds.
Being on site meant we spent the afternoon around the pool with cocktails wink.gif then back to the parks after dinner.

New York
Watching the kids play in Central Park
1/2 day spa for me at Dorit Baxter biggrin.gif
Customised Converse high tops for the kids in SoHo
Getting upgraded to a 2 bedroom suite! dev (6).gif

Orlando
Again hanging out at the pool in the afternoon
Animal Kingdom - as we had early entry we were on the safari just as all the animals were being fed so they were all out
Vegetarian wraps at the poolside cafe - wow did I miss vegetables!

LA
Walking down Venice Beach - eyeopener for the kids. Had to explain marijuana to them roll2.gif

Celebrity Spotting
Guiliana and Bill in NY the day before she announced their pregnancy. They had just finished working out and were standing beside us at a crosswalk
Emily Blunt stood in front of us at Sydney customs yesterday. Nice to see celebrities need to queue too!


DH had to go to work yesterday as soon as we arrived, and I stayed home with the kids as I thought we'd be jet lagged, but we all slept quite a bit on the plane.
I have just started the last load of my 9 full loads of laundry!
