Last day of the year!

Last night was probably one of the best nights I've had so far here in Florida.  We found out through the grapevine that Magic Kingdom was testing there new years eve fireworks at 11:45 pm last night.  A group of us bundled up and headed out to the polynesian resort, which is right across the lagoon from Magic Kingdom.  We grabbed a few drinks in the restaurant upstairs while we waited for the rest of our friends to get off work.  Then around 11 pm we met up and went to the beach and got some towels and sat in the sand and watched the new years eve fireworks!  There was about 15 of us on the beach, all international students from across the globe.  It was nice to celebrate new years early because we're all working tonight till close.  It was an amazing night with some amazing friends.  I've finally got rid of my cold that has been keeping me down since christmas eve. Now I can finally talk again and actually breathe through both my nostrils!!!  I've had the past two days off which was lovely (that probably helped shake my cold).  I went to Hollywood Studios the other day which was pretty fun.  Tower of Terror had a wait time of 120 minutes and Rock'n'Roller Coaster had a wait time of 140 minutes so we skipped those rides.  We did get to see Fantasmic, but we didn't really plan on it ... we kinda just stumbled into the line and once you're in a big line with close to 1 000 other people you stay in it.  It's also hard to believe that today is the last day of 2010.  This year has gone by fast, and I feel very blessed to be in Florida as a cultural representative for Canada.

I wish everyone good health and happiness for 2011 <3

From florida with love,
