4 parks, 3 days, sore feet

Well, we made it to Orlando safe and sound. US Airways did have to deplane before leaving Phoenix as the plane was not fit for flight. We've been here two days and made it to all the major theme parks at Disney World, and my feet are sore.

We have one more day here, before we depart for 3 day cruise to the Bahamas. My wife, Christine, and I have a few activities planned that include swimming with Sting Rays and Parasailing.
