Orlando Recap



I am in the world of the duck! Staying at the Peabody Hotel in Orlando on International Drive is a "difficult" experience as one can only imagine. All kidding aside there are shortcomings, like a fee for every imaginable extra you can think of. My wife who is attending a conference here while I sequester myself in room and write this, said that one of her colleagues had paid $33 for a steak and $6 for a baked potato in the hotel eatery describes as "most economical" on the Peabody's website. He did not spring for the salad. Suffice it to say, I left the hotel yesterday for breakfast and found a Publix (Grocery store) and now have a well stocked pantry in my room. I also found the complimentary coffee, though I had to get up at 5:30 to find it.
