Trip to Orlando
Submitted: December 27, 2011

- I have 2 kids. I was able to give each of them their own bedroom and my wife and I had the third bedroom. The master bedroom is downstairs while the kids bedrooms are upstairs. I could hear just about every footfall upstairs while downstairs. Fortunately, I go to sleep after my kids and get up before they do, so it wasn’t that big of an issue.
- The appliances were functional. Washer and Dryer came in handy for doing laundry every other day.
- Orlando is a pretty easy city to navigate and the townhouse is fairly close to everything. The path each morning was exit the complex, turn left, turn right at the signal and then follow the signs to wherever you want to go.
- The pool at the complex is nice, the gym is certainly good for a vacation place. The “arcade” is nothing special- air hockey and pool were both good, the other video games weren’t.
- There are books and games left behind from previous visitors, so check the closets and cabinets. We left behind Bingo.
- There is internet, and it is pretty fast, but it is wired and not wireless (I know, #firstworldproblems). Because we had 3 laptops, all of whom wanted to check e-mail and go online at the same time, I brought my wireless router from home.
- Not too many cable channels, but you can at least get local news and weather. Once again, you shouldn't be to reliant on cable while on vacation.
After staying at Christine’s townhouse for 7 days, we went to the Nick hotel for 2. My wife and I agreed that we would have gone crazy living in a hotel room for all 9 days of our trip. And the townhouse for 7 days was cheaper than the Nick Hotel for 2 days.
No Pets and No Smoking. There are permenant residents in the complex, who were generally friendly.
Thanks,
Chris
