Trip to Florida, 19-22 May 2006:

Since Kim was going to Orlando for a convention, he invited me to come along. The task of finding a ticket was a crazy one but somehow I made it. I flew to Miami on the 19th of May, and spent the 20th in Key West, Florida, where I stayed the whole day at. The 21st was spent visiting the Everglades National Park, before ascending to Orlando on the Turnpike to meet with Kim that night. The 22nd, I spent the day with Kim in Orlando, and we visited a nice garden. Next day, I missed my plane and took a later flight.
