Tomorrow the kids and I will be leaving for Walt Disney World. I want to thank VW Bug for being kind enough to answer my questions when I was trying to decide which hotel to make reservations for and for her post about Turtle Talk with Crush. That attraction has now been added to our "must see" list.)
I've been watching the weather in Orlando so I would have an idea of what type of clothes to pack. All through January it looked wonderful. It looked just as good at the beginning of February but recently I've been seeing "Severe alert!" due to freeze warnings.
Now, if there is one unifying theme to all of my vacations it's that whenever I get to where I'm going, the one comment I hear the most is, "This is really unusual weather we're having." I would like to believe that it's just a freaky coincidence that my vacations always coincide with the coldest/wetest/whatever weather that is the most unusual for the season and location. Logically, I know that my being there doesn't change the weather but I'm half tempted to visit Death Valley in the middle of summer just to see if it will rain for a week straight.
The good news is that the weather is supposed to warm up in Orlando with highs in the 70s and the lows only in the 50s. I am hopeful right now but given my track record, I won't be surprised if the forecast is suddenly revised around mid-afternoon tomorrow.

Posted by VW Bug at February 14, 2006 01:19 PMMabe you have jst been unlucky with the weather. that's why I alway's check the forecaste when I'm traveling, like say on the weather channel or the internet
Posted by Costa Rica Travel at February 15, 2006 05:44 PMI do check the forecast but it doesn't help much if I've planned the trip a month or more in advance.
VW - I just checked the temperatures here and at home. It's warmer in Louisville right now. (Although the daytime temperature in Florida has been warmer than it was at home.)
Just be glad I'm not moving here. I could ruin the tourist industry (and the citrus crops).
