Trip to Florida

Florida is 9 hours drive from our place, North Carolina. We headed to Florida on May 18 to attend a graduation ceremony in Forest Lake Academy in Orlando Florida. It is a tiresome journey driving all the way without stopping except when we get gas or when we need to use the bathroom. We just bring our lunch and eat on the way. We left at 11 am and we arrive at 8pm.

We immediately check in to that Hotel close by and we stayed there for 4 nights. It is a nice place where we are at because it is peaceful. Since the Graduation will be on Saturday and we arrived there Wednesday night, we have 2 days to go around and enjoy ourselves. We went to the Aircraft Museum and spend almost a half day there, watching the displayed old planes used during the world war etc. Then we had our lunch just in the museum restaurant. They have a nice food there and the price is right.

Then we proceeded to the place where we saw the Titanic experience. Titanic Ship is very popular because it was known before to be the unsinkable ship. But unfortunately it sank. We had a tour in the Titanic portrayed ship with an energetic tour guide who explained everything that had happened during the Titanic time. It was a huge ship with different classic rooms.
Rich people have their area and the common people passengers have their places too.

We had come to the place in the ship where they displayed the list of all the passengers in Titanic who had died and those who had survived. Ad I look at the average of those who survived are from the crews of the ship. Of course they know what to do b where something happen to the ship because they are ship crews. Lots of passengers who perished where from the 3rd class passengers.

It is sad to think about it. But then it is a lesson for us to remember that we can trust Only to God not to men no matter how brilliant men are in creating that unsinkable ship, god has the final say of what will be the future of that ship.

The first time I visit Florida

My first visit to Florida was when we attend the graduation of my step son. Wow!! I like the place!! looks like tropical. I 've seen palm trees, Gumamela flowers and even Santan. These plants are common in Asia particularly in the Philippines.I feel like I'm home. Lol.. We went to the beach I just forget the name of it.. but it was a nice one. But I can say that it is very different from our beaches. I could not see any cottages along the beach area not like in the Philippine beaches? we do have cottages where we are going to put our food because we usually bring food when we go to the beach in the Philippines. But here? no cottage in that beach. It was a very wide area where people just spread their beach towel and they sat down. Some are bringing their chairs, and a cot and there.. they lay on the beach under the heat of the sun. Most Asians are very careful not to stay under the heat of the sun when they are on the beach but the Americans they love it.

Florida is a nice place it's not cold unlike other states during winter. My hubby's parents have a vacation house there, they usually go there during winter time or spring time. I love be back there sometime.
