01 March 2009 USA journey starts

Finally arrived in Miami USA and after some hectic interrogations at Customs (due to too much US Dollars in cash on me) we made our way to sleep in Miami before we hire a car to leave for Orlando and Disneyland. Our first mission was to find a Walmart to see if we could get a GPS, but not the right model was available. But we spoilt the kids to some Root Beer and Pringles etc. Then we went to sleep about 23h30 US time to get the kids into US routine.

I booked a car online (rates about 50% cheaper) and we were taken to the Rental area by the Hotels shuttle. Now the trick was to fit 14 bags, and a fishing rod pipe into  a 7 seater Minivan. To our surprise the Dodge Caravan stood up to the test and everything was in. Next task was to find our way to the turnpike to Orlando and start the 350 mile journey. But without a GPS it was not so simple, but we eventually managed. We finally arrived at the Holiday In resort at 16h00 and what a place. Will post pictures tomorrow. The weather has changed for worse and it is quite windy and cold 57 Deg F.

Now we will relax and prepare for the adventures of Disney world.
