Category: 2009 Florida

My first trip to the USA later should follow still innumerable further. Fortunately the first visit was to the sunshine state, where I made many mistakes regarding bookings which made me learn for USA visits. So first of all I had not chosen a rental car and the flight route and the airline wrong. Unfortunately, these were only a few days and I was professionally bound to a conference. But in April I was able to enjoy some warmer weather and some landscape. I had a rental car and was able to drive around in the afternoon after the conference. Unfortunately I couldn’t get too far because of the short time but I had enough for Orlando, Kennedy Space Center, Cocoa Beach and some smaller places. My main accommodation was Gaylord Palms, which made a real impression on me.
