DISNEY WORLD TRIP - DAY 1

Just as we were landing in Orlando, Tobin puked in an air-sickness bag. He would continue to do so every 2-3 hours for the rest of the day. Allegra even got into the spirit and did likewise at about 12:30 in the morning, giving us worry that Tobin had passed things on to his baby sister. To make matters worse, she liberally covered the bed sheets, necessitating a call to the front desk in the middle of the night for new sheets. While Kristen bathed her and Allegra, I waited for the hotel staff (nearly 40 minutes) to locate the linens and deliver them to the room, so as not to wake the rest of the family.

After getting off the plane and gathering our bags, we headed for the rental car. Dad asked Mom, "Is it Thrifty?" She confirmed that it was, so we proceeded accordingly. Unfortunately the Thrifty lot was not on airport grounds, so we had to take a shuttle to the site. After getting there and waiting in line for an hour, we got to the desk and found they didn't have a reservation for us - which is about the time Mom came and realized the rental was with Hertz...

Tobin was in between pukes at one point and wanted something to drink. Kristen gave him a tiny sip of her Coke, in a coffee mug from the cupboard. Tobin took his sip, laid-back on the couch with a sigh, and exclaimed, "Ah! That's a good cup of joe!"

We hung out in the room for a few hours, and then realized that the AC didn't seem to be cooling the unit down. A call to the front desk and maintenance later, and we were in a 2nd unit for the night, until they could fix the AC in the original unit. So to put a positive spin on things, when Allegra puked in the bed - and we had to get the replacement sheets - it was not the bed we'd be sleeping in for the remainder of the week!
