<\/a>Yep\u2014that\u2019s right! This post marks the return of Warnie. I just can\u2019t keep away any longer! Not only am I returning to reasonably regular fresh blogging, in less than 12 hours I\u2019ll be jumping on a plane and living the \u201cAmerican dream\u201d for two whole weeks! After much careful thought, I\u2019ve also decided that you\u2019re going to be allowed to share in this dream vacation.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re staying the first week at the Universal<\/span> Resort and the second week at Disney<\/span>. Internet access permitting, you\u2019ll be able to read a day-by-day account right here. There are three of us going\u2014me and two of my kids, Tamasin and Henry. We all figured this was as good a chance to enjoy ourselves together as we are likely to get this side of Tamasin becoming a teenager, which is not far off. I can\u2019t believe that the baby I held in my arms only a short time ago is now doing her best to organize me for this trip, and has even put together some flat-pack furniture on her own!<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll share our personal thoughts and, hopefully, some photos and video. Blogs are intensely personal things, so you will forgive my indulgence. If nothing else, my wife and three younger kids will be able to follow along with what we\u2019re getting up to. $\"\"$ <\/a>Incidentally, Andr\u00e9e deserves a medal as big as a pancake for holding the fort at home. But she doesn\u2019t really like all those rides and things anyhow, and says she will be quite happy.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for serious theology over the next few days, go visit challies.com<\/a>, although, thanks to my editor, the last few of my \u201ctop 30 posts\u201d<\/a> will be making their appearance in-between the Florida epic travelogue.<\/p>\n

If anybody has any last-minute travel tips for an Orlando vacation, now is the time to e-mail them to adrian.warnock@gmail.com. I may even share the best here!<\/p>\n

The first tip is, I am told, choose the time of year carefully. February seems like a good month. The weather forecast suggests most days it will be upwards of 27C. (That\u2019s 82F for you Yanks!) But the crowds should not be too big, and it should not get unbearably hot. Importantly, it\u2019s also well outside hurricane season. So since Gordon Brown won\u2019t be anywhere near Gatwick<\/a> when I am taking off or landing, we should return in one piece.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
