Florida 2022 - Part 1

Vacation Time

Friday - April 1st 2022

Two years later we are finally going to Florida. Thanks to Covid-19 we had to cancel our Florida trip in 2022 and again in 2021, but this year we were finally able to go to USA. Since the US still required a negatice covid test, we were quite nervous the days before, but our tests Friday morning came back negative and so after work we hit the road towards Munich Airport. Our flight departed Saturday morning and so we decided to spend the night before at Novotel Airport Hotel. After we arrived and checked in, we took the suburban line to the terminals to get something to eat. We stopped at Starbucks first for a coffen and then at McDonalds for their vegan burger. After we checked out some of the airport shops, we took the train back to the hotel, where we got drinks at the hotel bar. Back at the room we watched TV until it was time for bed.

Although our Delta flight to Atlanta didn't depart before late morning, we had to be at the terminal early, because the airline had to check our vaccination status. Once we passed security, we got breakfast and then we had to wait until it was time for departure. The flight to Atlanta was uneventful and we arrived on time. Unfortunately when we landed we got the information that our connecting flight to Orlando was delayed for two hours. At first we were angry, but once we found out that most flights to and from Orlando were cancelled due to a heavy thunderstorm, we were really happy that our flight was at least going to happen. There was quite the chaos at Atlanta Airport, because many people going to Florida were stranded due to all the cancelled flights. In the meantime Claudia and I got drinks and pretzels at a bar. Finally we departed Atlanta and arrived in Orlando around 10pm. After we got our luggage and found the bus taking us to Universal Orlando Resort, we were finally on our way to the hotel. At Universal we stayed the Cabana Bay Beach Resort, which was fine but nothing special. Luckily check in was quick and easy and soon we were in our beds after an exhausting journey.
