Left December 5th from Columbus ahead of storm, stayed two nights on the road with Wyndham rewards at Days Inn--ok.  Drive was just fine.  Staying at Bonnet Creek, Tower # 6.  Room overlooks the pools and lake --room 1013--beautiful view.  Three bedroom-- Great for kids with pool area right out the door, slide and hot tub and lots of good shade.  Not crowded during the week--everyone at the parks.  Tower 5 has lazy river, Tower 4 not good for kids--no close pool but could use main pool with lazy river and mini water park for little kids.
ASK for Stephen Hollis to GET A GOOD ROOM in Bonnet Creek resort--he is OUR guy for this.  Pete has his number in contact information.  We are staying 9 nights--perfect!

"Ice"--Gaylord Palms Hotel near Bonnetcreek , only Christmas time, great ice carving.  $28 each and $18 parking
Daytona Wyndham--right on beach, typical beach town, nice pools overlooking ocean.
Disney Hollywood (MGM)--must see stunts show, Tower of Terror, Rock and Roll Coaster, Studio back lot tour, Indiana Jones, the Great Movie Ride -- eat 50's Sci Fi Diner theme drive in movie--get reservation--
Celebration--town near Disney, neat Christmas stuff there.  Didn't go there.
Visit other Wyndham in Orlando--big golf center and outdoor water park--nice three bedroom with three baths.  Reunion Wyndham--too fancy.
Went to Pier 60 at Clearwater Beach--4 to 8pm, 2 hour drive, lots of traffic, public beach, street performers.  Free, lots of traffic through Tampa and Clearwater.

Stopped at Carrie and Nate's on the way home for 2 hours that turned into 7 1/2 hours--hard to tear away from those babies!  The drive to Cincy took about 14 hours--we stopped in Knoxville.  Good idea to avoid Atlanta during rush hour--Rt # 75 goes right through town.  Wonderful trip with great weather!
