Our trip to Orlando Florida to see Fred Day Two

 The railroad station in Orlando looked like an old fashion station with wooden beaches and wooden phone booths, there is where Dorothy and John got the rental car from Hertz with a GPS unit that had a woman telling Dorothy where to go. We were lucky Dorothy was driving for I know I wouldn’t hear half of the GPS woman’s directions, I guess I would need Adele at my side to tell me what she said. After whining through the street of Orlando for a while we got to the Dorothy and John’s resort.  Dorothy and John’s room was not ready and while we were there one of the resorts employee want to give us all free breakfast and fifty dollars, but we figured that he wanted to sell us a Time Share, so we told him we would think about it. 

Then we decided to go to the Hilton Grand Vacation Club where Adele and I were staying and we checked in our rooms were ready, so Dorothy drove us to our apartment, which was on the ground floor, we all went in for a look around. It was very nice with a full kitchen, whirlpool bath, a big full size bed, a screened in porch and a full living and dining rooms. The resort itself had a large lake with a walkway around, a bridge across it, two fountains in the middle of each end of it. There are two pools at either end of the lake one large pool with a waterfall and a bar; they had a game room, a quiet lounge, A Deli/café and a lot more.  I took some photos walking around first with the small Olympus camera, then with the Canon SLR camera.

Adele got the idea that if we could bring Fred to our resort maybe we could rent a wheelchair for him as he has trouble walking. So we went to the concierge if they rented wheelchairs and he said they only had a couple of wheelchairs for emergencies. Adele then I argued that they should have such a service, we argued for a while finally he became sympatric, he was quite progressive a rare breed in Florida, saying that his wife was a teacher making only 21,000 dollars a year because in Florida older people didn’t want to pay school taxes for other peoples children and he set up where we could talk to the resort manager and he said if we call or e-mail him when we wanted to bring Fred he would provide a wheelchair.

Adele and I bought some cereal “All Brands” and milk for breakfast at the resort deli as well as some coffee and returned to our unit and went to bed.
