We stayed at the Westin Diplomat in Hollywood, FL. The Diplomat has some great history and is a wonderful property, the only problem this time is.....it was crowded! Not only where there multiple conferences but it was Easter weekend. The pool and rest of the hotel was PACKED! Regardless, we still had a great time.
I also picked up my new 2012 Cannondale Supersix EVO Ultimate. Even though I was only able to get in approx. 120 miles I can tell you, the EVO is a truly amazing bike! Everything the press has said about it is true. This is my 3rd SuperSix and it is by far the BEST one. Period. I have never ridden a carbon frame that is so compliant and supple yet super stiff. I love this bike! Bone stock weight (w/no pedals) is 11lbs 13oz. A bit heavier than I had planned but still plenty light. Watch this space for more photos and a full review...
I think the best 2 days where going out with friends on their boat and then an Easter BBQ. Spending quality time w/friends you haven't seen in a while is always great!After Miami we packed up the rental van and headed to Orlando where we stayed at the Swan hotel (Disney property). The girls went to Disney the first night then the next day we spent the day at Universal Studios, Adventure Island. Although the new Harry Potter exhibit is very nice, the best ride/attraction by far was Spider man 3D. Evidently, the projection system and animation was (very) recently upgraded and re-animated and the end result is truly STUNNING! This is a MUST SEE if you go to Universal. "The Hulk" roller coaster is also NOT to be missed!
We are now back in cold, wet, windy, London. Leaving the warm sunshine and friends in Florida was particularly hard this time. Not much longer and we will be back in the USA for good as our adventure is quickly coming to an end.
