Slightly intimidating station in the middle of an industrial park with no breakfast or coffee facilities. Now in desperate need of caffeine!
Train left on time at 08.20 - same funny system of allocating seats at the door, but this time I bagged a window. The cafe didn't open till 09.30 - so really desperate by then! My healthy eating plans were cast aside as I devoured a sausage, egg and cheese muffin, a coffee and an apple juice.
My seat buddy was not so chatty so I powered through a book on the kindle. Arrival into Orlando was a bit late and it took ages to unload the luggage so I headed straight to the airport to check in with six hours of lay-over stretching ahead of me.
Orlando airport has more shops than most American airports, but that isn't saying much - T5 it ain't! It does have two Disney shops, two NASA shops, two Universal Studios shops, one Sea World shop and a couple of unidentifiable themed shops, a Brookstone, several newsagents and a food court - oh and a Starbucks. So that was the first half hour filled...
Amazingly the flight left on time and after watching the first film (Crazy, Stupid Love with Steve Carroll, Julianne Moore and Ryan Gosling) I felt my eyes closing. This never happens on flights, I must have driven myself to tiredness through sheer boredom. The next thing I recall is being woken for the breakfast service one hour before landing an hour early. Fast through Border Control and home by 09.00 - end of a great holiday!
