I totally missed my brother and sis in law Jenna, and my niece and nephew when they came here for their semi-annual orlando vacations that they do every couple of years.
They were in Orlando from October 3rd through the 12th, and I completely forgot that they were even coming, so of course I didn't even try to get to meet up with them.
Jenna posted that they had a good time, that it was very hot, a total temp change from Maine to Florida and return, like a 40 degree difference.
I know that's totally true because it's still very hot here and Maine is always cold, that's part of the reason that I can't live there anymore, it's just too cold and my joints just can't handle it.
She posted about the wheelchair transfers at the airports and how difficult it is.
They use these super tiny aisle chairs for people in wheelchairs, and at one of the airports, Baltimore, it was just one female attendant to do her transfer, and she argued with my brother, banged Jenna's knees and head, didn't buckle her in.
They really aren't very good with people in wheelchairs, I've seen them do transfers for people when I've flown and I've always been so thankful that I am not in a wheelchair because of how difficult it is.
But all in all, they had a very good time at Disney, the food and service was really good, and people made room for her wheelchair at the restaurants and the Disney staff helped her on and off the rides, they are really very good with handicapped people at Disney, I know that from experience.
I'm glad that they had a good time, but sorry that I missed seeing them when they were here.
