USA '14 – Round Up
It has become something of a tradition to do a round up post at the end of our Florida holidays and so this is it. Here I group together all the posts to allow you to quickly find the post most relevant to what you are interested in. If you want to do a comparison …
USA '14 – Day 15 – The long way home
Given that the flight back to the UK is late afternoon this gives us plenty of time for one last hurrah. Even though we had only been there yesterday it was decided to go back to Hollywood Studios today. I have to admit that this was done on a majority vote basis and like the …
USA '14 – Day 14 – And that's a wrap

USA '14 – Day 10 – A trip to Seahaven
