Family Travel with Points and Miles
Breakfast in the restaurant was the buffet again. I believe they finally had enough people in the hotel to justify having it. There were significantly more people than when we first arrived, but it was far from crowded, even during peak times at the pool. Beach Time (for real!) Unlike the previous day, I didn’t… Continue reading Florida 2020: Diary – Day 5
We slept in a little because it was finally the weekend and we were ready to take advantage. The boys still had three days of school the next two week, but we were going to vacation in the meantime. Down at breakfast, they were offering a buffet in place of the menu which we were… Continue reading Florida 2020: Diary – Day 4
It was eaiser to wake up but not much. The sun was still coming up late and it’s always harder to get up when it’s still dark, but we managed to get down to the restaurant in time to finish breakfast before school started. Enjoying my “Day Off” I was taking the day off from… Continue reading Florida 2020: Diary – Day 3
We all slept well but it was hard getting up when the alarm went off. The restaurant opened at 7:00 and we wanted to be there soon after so we could be done by the time school started online at 8:00. The sun was still coming up which made it harder to motivate the boys.… Continue reading Florida 2020: Diary – Day 2
Our getaway flight the night before arrived into Fort Lauderdale pretty late and the boys had class to get up for in the morning. Luckily Wednesdays are lighter days for the them, but we still had to get up relatively early. Breakfast and Classes Luckily we were on the same floor where the free breakfast… Continue reading Florida 2020: Diary – Day 1

Getting a Lyft We considered driving to the airport to minimize our interactions with other people, but the cost of parking… Continue reading Florida 2020: Diary – Day 0
I’ve briefly gone over the plans for the trips I took with the boys in 2017 and 2019. The 2020 trip was going to be a little different due to this whole COVID thing, but I would leverage what I learned from the previous trips to see what I could pull together. Staying Outside the… Continue reading Florida 2020 – Disney Planning Part 3
I had learned a lot about planning a Disney trip from taking Tomatico on his trip when he turned 8. When my youngest turned 8 he was ready to go and I was back at it planning an even bigger and better trip! Disney with my Youngest At the time of his trip, Tomatico was… Continue reading Florida 2020 – Disney Planning Part 2
Planning for Disney is complicated. It's unfortunate that you have to do so much planning to best ensure you get the most out of your vacation, but it's a reality. Fortunately I love the planning part almost as much as the trip itself and over my previous two trips I had learned a few tricks.… Continue reading Florida 2020 – Disney Planning
Not the car we rented... Our original plan had us arriving on a Saturday in Fort Myers. We'd pick up the rental car at the airport there and return it at the airport in Orlando. Using my go-to service for car rentals, Autoslash.com, I found that SUV rentals were quite expensive but a standard or… Continue reading Florida 2020 – Car Rental Planning
