Olando hotels

Riley,

I travel to Orlando on business about every other month. The Hampton, Inn on International Drive is very nice, and not very expensive. It is less than $100 per night. However, it does not have a resturant. The Pool may be a small indoor deal. I never look at them when I am on business.

International Drive does have a strip of attractions and resturants. It reminds me of the strip at Myrtle Beach, SC. They have Water Parks, Bungee Cords, Mini Golf, Rippley Believe it or not and Tee Shirt Shops. It is very near Universal Studios and is right on I-4.

You will find that all Hotels are very reasonable in the Orlando area. Several years ago I stayed at the Hilton at Down Town Disney and it had several great resturants and a great pool. It was also walking distance to Down Town Disney for more resturants and shops.

I hope this helps,

Donald

39 and windy on the way home from work at about 6:30pm. Believe me it is cold here. But warmer temps on the way by the weekend.

International Drive is a big toursist trap but it is a blast. Especially all the people you'll see.

50's in Maine? Man I am on my way! Lots of guys to visit up there.

January of '78...yeah I remember that one. Coldest ever I remember working outside. Lots of snow and wind.

100 year low in CanCun where they're trying to have their global warming summit.

I don't know how long you're going to be there, but we have used vacationrentals.com with great success. There are TONS of private homes for rent in that area. A couple of years ago we ended up with a less than 5 year old home, in a subdivision, with a pool, 4 bedroom, 2 bath, gameroom - with pingpong and airhockey, and extremely nice for less than $100/night. Jbear can confirm how nice it was for the $$. Unbelievable. Rob

Probably 5-7 days. That's a good idea. Thanks, I'll check it out.

Dave, We're thinking February vacation which is the 3rd week of February. Normally the weather is pretty good isn;t it? 70s-80's?

I went to FLA once back in 2000 and stayed at this time share place called Hilton Grand Vacation Resort or something like that. It was close to Seaworld. Beautiful place, but they treated us like we were there to steal the towels.

You are gonna love the weather in February...especially compared to up north.

I had forgotten Gary...guess I put cold thoughts outa my head.

BTW; how was the weather this week? It was cold here. 29 on the way to work one morning.

Gary, I'd love to do the river run, but it doesn't fall on a school vacation.

The plan is to have no plan, but a tour of CC with Dave and meeting JBear would be bonuses.

any nighties at the door?
