Day two: Saturday November 3, 2001

Slept in as we have no real plans and the purpose of this trip was to 1) give me a much needed break from work and 2) let my DH rest and not overwork his back. The morning started pretty much the same as all other days, DH putting ice on his lower back and hip and then doing his exercises while I updated the journal from the day before. Decided to walk over to the Pepper Market and have breakfast. Easily found something for both of us (one who would love to eat a large breakfast every day but can’t and the one who can). Weather was warm and sunny with some clouds so decided to go spend the day at the pool. Once or twice we got a brief sprinkle from one of the dark clouds that suddenly appeared, but other than that very nice. Got DH to go into the hot tub a few times as I told him it would help sooth his aching back. Around three o’clock another dark cloud came overhead, then the sky was blue…. When suddenly it is really raining! The brief shower ended in less than 3-5 minutes. We were the only fools still sitting in our chairs just covering our heads with towels. But within a few minutes the sun was shining brightly again.

Back to the hotel to shower before going to Goodings. We wanted to pick up a six pack of water and a bottle of juice to keep in our collapsible cooler which we simply filled with ice daily from the ice machine.

Went to Epcot thru the International Gateway (what a great place to trade in the AP vouchers, only one person ahead of us). Walked around the countries before deciding that it was too busy for our likings (I heard a lot of people saying they were locals). We were going to eat at the ESPN club, but the line was too long, so got back in the car and drove off-site to a Sizzler’s restaurant for dinner.

Back to hotel where I was pleasantly surprised that I could see most of the fireworks from Illuminations from our room. Some of them were blocked by the Swan hotel, but I could still see most of them. I am now happy that we didn’t get the Rancho as the view from the room is wonderful.

Tomorrow: Day Three... What are those elephants doing?

Chantal - I really like CS. We stayed there last year and then this trip for 3 nights. We would have been there for all 8 nights except I was able to get a really good rate for the YC.

The Pepper Market is their version of a food court. The major difference is that you go to the different food stations and they stamp a card with what you ordered (for example a bagel and orange juice). Then when you leave, a person at a cash register takes your card to determine what you ate and how much you have to pay.

If you have any other questions about CS or anything else, feel free to email me.
