Road trip to Orlando, Florida | Woodywood pecker at Islands Of Adventure, Orlando, |
My last trip to Florida was July 2002. I can't believe it has been 2 yrs since i was there. Where has the time gone? We had planned to visit Florida since July 2001. My family decided to go because we were living in Quebec, Canada at the time and we might not get to go again! On July 19th 2002 we left Quebec to drive down to Florida. It was an absolute brilliant trip. It was like a road trip. We passed through about 14 or 15 states(all of which are on my homepage). In one day we travelled 11 hours from Quebec to Aberdeen, Maryland. Passed some bad rain storms through New York State and New Jersey. That was very scary ;-0 A lot of sirens where going off too. We made it to Aberdeen Maryland and stayed there for a night. The next day we drove down to Dillon, South Carolina. Stopped at Fredricksburg, Virginia and North Carolina.
The journey back up to Quebec: 1st August 2003 We left Orlando as my brother wasn't feeling well. We drove past Jacksonville. Stopped at Florence, South Carolina for a night. That was about a total of 8 hrs we drove that day. The next day we drove from S.C up to Washington D.C. That was a total of 8-10 hrs. We stopped at D.C. a night and saw a few sights(go to my washington d.c. page to see pics).
From 2nd Aug: We drove from D.C. then onto New York State for a night and then the next day to Quebec. |
|  | Jurrasic Park - River Adventure. Islands Of Adventure. That is one of my favourites. I was sitting a the right hand side and we passed dinosaurs then we plunged all the way to the bottom and came out soaken!! Scary!! ;-0 |
Clear Water beach is near St Petersburg in florida. I passed Tampa to come here. We drove from Orlando. It's about 1 hour and a half to get here. The beach is gorgeous. We went to see dolphins on a special tour boat. It's worth coming here even if it's just for a few hours. |  | |
