We are Headed to Florida


This is an unplanned trip which was decided upon only 4 days before our departure which is on Monday,January 16.

Hubby and my sister Bambi who both share the same birthday have decided to celebrate their birthdays in Orlando,Florida, partly because hubby has some work to do there and my sister therefore decided to join us.

Most of the people who have been to Orlando had suggested we dont miss the New Harry Potter Ride which is at the Universal Islands of Adventure.

Our trip is advantageous since we would be free from paying our hotel and rentacar since hubby is going for a business trip.Likewise since Monday-Wednesday flights specially on the 2nd week of January is not peak travel season it was easy for me to book a Saver Award from hubbys United Mileage points. We only had to pay a fee of $62.50 per passenger from flying out from Canada. It would even had been cheaper if it was travel within USA since the taxes are only $7 using the United Mileage points from anywhere in the US.

The only stiff expenses are our Universal Florida tickets which at $88 for a day pass and $116 for a 2 day pass is quite expensive.

I also heard that we still have to pay extra for parking at Universal.
