We're Back!

Jourdyn and I returned home today at 11:30 am, well at least we were back in Detroit by then. It was a great week. Rob and I sat down and looked at all the pictures and figured the best way to share them all would be to organize them by event or place. So I am going to start with our hotel. This post will talk about our hotel.

We stayed at the International Plaza Resort & Spa in Orlando. While we were in Orlando for four days, we stayed five nights at the hotel. It was beautiful! It's a 28 acre resort and it's really close to Sea World, so Jourdyn loved that. Thank God for Expedia and for giving us the perfect timing to get this hotel for a cheaper price than many of our friends paid who stayed at Holiday Inn's and Red Roof's.

The hotel has three or four pool's, of which we used none. We got up early and came back late. And on the day we were going to swim there was a tragic accident in the pool outside our room. It took away the thrill of swimming. A maintenance employee drowned in the pool overnight. He was 21 years old. Another employee found him at 6 am. It was a very somber start to the day as we left for the morning conferences. Please pray for this man's family and friends and for the employee's at the hotel, especially the one who found him.

We didn't visit any of the restraurants on the property, but did make use of their candy/ice cream shop a couple of evenings! The rooms were gorgeous and decorated with aqua, green and dark wood. It was just a wonderful place to stay. Several days we walked to the convention center because it was only a quarter of a mile away. I would recommend it to anyone, however buy on expedia not through the hotel! :)
