A little word of warning

[alandadp]

My daughter has just got herself a new job, location ..... Orlando Florida! She will be emigrating, with husband in tow, next week and my good wife is already planning our first visit for some time in October.
I will be visiting your shores more frequently in the future laden down with large quantities of 'soap' to be scattered maliciously across your fair land :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
You have been warned!

I know Kyle and Monbla are huge fans of the "soap." I'd start with them...

 

[alandadp]

Monbla was top of my list :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Ah, congratulations to her and her husband! Also to you now having a place in Orlando while on holiday

Ew! Soapy ketchup. That's just not right. You'd need one of those bubble pipes. :drunken: ale: :silent:

Oh, I almost forgot! Congrats to alandp's daughter on the new gig! :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

That's great news Adam! Takes a lot of courage to make a move of that scale so fair play to them both. Have you checked out the permissable duty free?!!!?

.....Orlando you say Adam? Is the lass going to working for the rat then?.......

:face:

Cheers,

No, she's a 'Recruitment Consultant' (dealing with people whose wages are about 5x mine ).
I believe she's just based in Orlando but will cover the whole US (electronically I'd imagine).
She does get about a 50% pay rise taking this job so can't blame her.

That's great news Adam! Takes a lot of courage to make a move of that scale ......

And her Father's money  :twisted:  :twisted:  :twisted:

It's hot like a sauna in Florida sir, even in winter. By New England standards anyway. They think the mid sixties are cold down there. Also, word from the wise- the Golden Corral restaurants look good, but it's not worth the aftermath lol.

This man speaks the truth, on both points.

Upon reaching retirement age Jewish parents are required by law to spend six months out of the year in FL. So we usually bring the kid (now kids) to visit Grandma and Grandpa (and Mickey) once or twice a year. I am always surprised by that first hit of humidity stepping out of the nice air conditioned airport.

As for Golden Corral...well, yeah. Just don't.

Congrats to your daughter and to you for the future holiday retreat. :cheers:

It'll be a while before we go out there - gotta give them time to prepare for a visitation   Will let people know nearer know nearer the time in case I can bring a few small things out ( two cases of Highland Park and a case of Lagavulin does not count as small :evil: )

I've been to Philadelphia yesterday for a very nice breakfast. Weather was nice with a liitle bit of wind to keep us cool.
