florida was good and warm (which was the most important part). it was good to get away for some R&R. i got a tan (thanks to the 80 degree weather), a fantastic brownie sundae (thanks to the Magic Kingdom), and a very good working knowledge of newark airport (since i was stuck there for most of tuesday;( ) in between that, we saw the Yanks play ( Read more... )
