I am in Florida with my sister Sophia at her son Wicker’s vacation villa.  It’s located only a mile from one of the entrances to Disney World, which we’re visiting today.  Wicker got us a one-day Park Hopper (which is only available to Disney employees) through a friend of his that used to work with him when he was a tour guide on the Great Movie Ride in MGM Studios at Disney.

The weather so far has been superb, in the low nineties, with the usual late afternoon thundershower.  I start my day here with a morning swim in our pool (photo at right), which is a real treat.  Sophia is prepping the villa for some visitors later this month, and we’re doing a little shopping in-between.

Don’t know when we’re leaving here, probably sometime over the coming weekend.  We’re driving but since it’s an 11 hour drive we’ll probably duplicate our trip here by making an overnight stop somewhere in route.  Then I’ll stay a few days in Hopewell before returning to Washington.
