Florida, Here I Come

finally we are on our way to florida. doesnt it always seem that when you are so close to a vacation (not that i really get one in florida, but anyways...) the last day just draaaaaaaaaaags on? yesterday we had our last loadout of the season. slow. when it was time to walk the animal back to the stock cars, the sky opened up and the rain fell. and it fell hard. it was pretty much coming down sideways- leaves were smacking us in the face, a few people lost contacts, horses were going crazy, elephants were trumpeting with delight, and my clothes were 100% stuck to my body by the time we were done. my god. so now we are on the trian- headed south. we should be in orlando sometime tomorrow afternoon. the average temp these days is about 80 :) for the next 4 weeks we dont have shows :) animal crew will still work mon-sat, 8-5. we get sundays off- which seems ridiculous since doctor, dentist, bank, post office, etc are all closed. i swear this company likes to screw their employees. one of the performers that has a car flew home to his country this morning and left casey and i his car- so we will actually have a car for a month. rumor is that there is a lot to do around the trainyard. grocery, mall, lake, bars, restaurants, etc. im looking forward to a warm winter, but it sure will be different from minnesota! i am still working on trying to get time off for xmas. probably wont happen and if it doesnt i will be the drunkest i have ever been come xmas day. probably not what my parents want to read, but at least im being honest. well... water stop should come about 5am so i am going to head to bed. talk to you all in FL~
