A Journey Of A Thousand Smiles Begins With A Sub-Par Inflight Meal

We got up bright and early this morning to start out on our trip to Orlando. Packed the bags, kissed the babies and the wives, and embarked on a unique experience that is sure to impact our lives in a significant way. It's still sinking in as we sit in the George Bush International airport in Houston; they picked us as potential ambassadors for the great City of Orlando!!! We are chomping at the bit to get our feat on Florida soil anticipating an absolute whirlwind of fun and exciting new experiences over the next several days. We literally racked our brains and couldn't for the life of us come up with a place we'd rather be heading to than Orlando (duh, who could?). The adventure begins in earnest tomorrow!

On a lighter note the curious/necessary process of flying stood between us and our adventure. Curious what that smell in the airport was? Necessary because try as we might we have yet to master cross-continent teleportation. The first adventure was the infamous in flight meal...Here's a glimpse of our day.

One of the few things Mikey can't do in Orlando- Get a goodbye kiss from his girl Jordyn.

Uncle Clay and Daddy saying bye to the girls. The wives declined the photo-op citing the early hour and lack of make-up.

Our last moments on Canadian soil.

In transit between Calgary and Houston, Texas. Starting to get excited.

It actually smelled really appealing....We'll leave it at that.

So after a 15 hour day, 2 hours of driving, 6 hours of flying, a 90 minute flight delay in Houston we have finally arrived in ORLANDO!!! Tired as all get out and hurrying to bed because tomorrow brings exciting things!!!! We'll keep you updated all the time as the thrills are sure to come fast and furious now. Looking forward to meeting everyone involved in the contest and getting out to see a little bit of why Orlando makes you smile.
