Default Kissimmee

So I just got home today from a 7 day trip down to Kissimmee, Florida, for work. Wasn't bad. Hot as hell and the most humidity I've ever been exposed to.
On the flight down, the kid next to me dumped his pop in my lap, and pulled the wig off of the woman sitting in front of him...on the way back the plane lost power as we were driving around the runway about to take off. That was amusing.

I stayed at the Hyatt Grand Cypress. According to the guy that sat next to me at the bar last night, it has a great golf course. When I told him I didn't golf he looked at me like I'd sprouted a second head...then later he confessed to giving up his bike (I think he said it was a HD but I don't remember) 10 years ago because there were two kinds of riders: those that have crashed, and those that will crash. (Dude) That explained a lot.
...and yeah, there was zero chemistry there; very awkward conversations.

Anyway, the pool was sweet... huge, multiple rock waterfalls, an ankle biter section and an alcoholic beverages section, and a couple water slides. Unfortunately, there was a serious lack of eye candy there.

Overall it was a great trip.

here's a couple pics to share...they're not Marko or Ebbs quality I took them using my BB

"...Aligators in the lake..." would have had me booked into somewhere a bit further north

Spent a year living in Davenport, about 10 miles south of Kissimmee in an RV park. Had a sweet little pond in front, great for sitting and taking in the sunset.

Found out later that it had 2 gators in it that snacked on the retirees ankle biter dogs that wandered too close to the edge of the pond.

And nice pics.

Well Florida is only 3 feet wide so I don't think its too safe no matter how far up you go. I wouldn't go near the water onthe beach...kept seeing crocodile dundee images and there wasn't any Paul Hogans around for rescuing.
