Family Vacation 2005, Day 2....

Today we arrived around 10:30 at the Florida terminal for the Amtrak Auto Train. We were out of there by 11:00. We got lucky that out of the 208 cars on the train, our 3 cars were in the first 15 taken off. It took about an hour to get to the rental agency office and get the keys and directions to the rental house. The house is located in a gated community in Kissimmee. It's a gorgeous 7 bedroom house. We unpacked the cars and Ellen and Geralyn went to the supermarket to pick up lunch and food for the week. After lunch, everyone went into the pool for a couple of hours. Everyone took a bath or shower after the pool and now we're relaxing waiting for Veronica (Jen's sister), Joseph (Veronica's son), Helen and Vinny (Jen's parents) to arrive. The Amtrak train is not pet friendly and since Helen wanted to the bring their dog with them, they were forced to drive down. They left Teaneck around 7 am yesterday and stopped overnight at a motel.

Enough for now. More to come later (or probably tomorrow)....
