I have a business trip that will out in me in Orlando/Altamont Springs for a few days on the first week of November. I have part of a morning to kill and I have a rent a wreck.


What kind of stuff is there to do around these parts?

I'm not too fond of theme parks. I haven't been over that way in quite a while. One thing I will never forget from when I was there is the Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament. I was in my early teens, on a trip to disney world, and I spent my time talking about that place. My parents loved it too. Eat good food and watch a bunch of guys fight on horses. It was neat.

I don't know if that fits into your budget or schedule, but I thought it was really cool.

errr... No Micky...

Too bad I'm flying in and out during the week days, I was hoping to check out some riding.

Swanny... I can't take my clubs on the plane, no room, wish I did though!

I just got back from my quick trip to orlando. I ended up working WAY more than I did playing, but I did drink a TON of beer, and eat a TON of food.

I did find Rachels (aka Seminole Steakhouse) on 436 in Altamonte springs, Kennedy Space Center (I'll be back for a full trip), and tons of cool nerdy work spots. Coco beach was fun, but I only spent an afternoon there.

I'm bummed that I missed the shuttle landing by 30 seconds!!! I was stuck in traffic!! And I looked all over for gators... and no luck.

I'm definately going back, I never thought I'd think Florida was cool. Those freaking toll roads are a freaking joke though.

beer is cheaper and it doesn't try to push you into spending more money than you want to spend :biggrin:

We got in and out of Rachels for the cost of 3 beers (each) and dinner. We didn't pay one cent for the ....

attractions.


And money is never an object when you are using a corporate card :)

I had the Ahi Tuna Steaks. It was by far the best tuna steak I have ever had. My buddy had some sort of steak and he raved about it as well.

For being a "club" I was impressed with 4 star food for 3 star prices...

I went on a Tuesday night so we got first class service.

Mako's is fun... Down town Church Street. :biggthumpup:

Hot chicks in hot outfits that work there, and usually quite a few hotties in the crowd of people.
