Ok everybody, it seems as though we have reached the end of the road. I went down to Florida with the intention of being there for a year, but I ended up staying about 14 months! I completed my program! As everybody says in their throw-out, enjoy the rest of your contract, go out and travel like I did.
I went to Key West, Miami, St. Augustine (2), Daytona Beach (3), Cocoa (5), Clearwater (2), New York, Paris, on a Disney Cruise, Nassau Bahamas (2), Cozumel Mexico, Belize, Costa Maya Mexico, but most of all DISNEY WORLD! All of the parks, all of the attractions, shows, parades, fireworks, I can't even count. Universal several times, Gatorland, Busch Gardens, every attraction and restaurant in the Orlando area. Too hard to keep track.
I hope you have enjoyed reading my blog, to all my readers around the world thank you, and thank you to all of my friends and family for support. It was the experience of a lifetime, I have met so many amazing people from all over the world. Be sure to catch up on all of my latest adventures on my picture site (banner at the top). And in case I don't see ya, good afternoon, good evening, and good night!
