Arose early for a little well big American breakfast then did the 3 hour drive to Orlando... Looked at the map beforehand which looked like the I-highways were the way to go but the Sat-Nav had a different route which was gorgeous. So so many Birds of Prey on the route and the amazing thing was that I could actually identify them. Well they were Kites and Harris Hawks I think!?!?

Got to Orlando a few hours later and checked into the Hard Rock Hotel which is definitely as cheesy as their cafes!! They couldn't even get the type of guitar right on a few artist's displays! Had a not bad view though...

Dropped our things and then went to a tacky mall but did manage to find a few things. Even found a book which I had done the cover for in Hot Topic. Headed back to the hotel and then went for a wander around the Universal City walk so we could get a little preview of what we were in for at the theme parks tomorrow... How about Vegas without the gambling??
