all you can jet - day 30 - orlando, FL

well, AYCJ has 31 days ... don't ask me how the hell i wasn't able to count from 1 - 31 ... i guess i can always fall back on a line of my dad's "your degree is in mathematics, not arithmetic."


even though this is the last day, the flight leaves past noon ... that means we can sneak something in this morning ... so it's up at 06:00 to head to orlando wetlands park.


it's actually a water filtration system for the city of orlando; a series of very large cubed ponds, not unlike an ice tray, if each cube space was 200 acres.

like nearly every wilderness adventure we've had, we only saw two non-park people, and that was on the way out.  


this is a great way to spend time before the last flight.


we head up to MCO.  the chaos at the rental agency before is replaced with order. 


and everything just works.


the catch of the day was i had to go from FLL to MCO -- 200 miles by land -- but jetblue doesn't fly that way ... so i had to go up to JFK, just to turn around and come back ... 2000 miles by plane.


i watched my accomplice head off to SJC, then turned around and headed back to fort lauderdale.  i'm here for three nights (free in the four-star and fairly swank hilton fort lauderdale marina because i booked the cruise through priceline).  my mom comes in day after tomorrow.
