Guess I’m arriving to Florida in a heatwave!

Luis, I’m staying in the Winter Park area of Orlando, do you know the area to recommend good Cuban food where the locals go?
 
oh I can't do sardines but my girl gives her Minni Aussie a sardine twice a week with her food and green beans.
It’s an acquired taste! But sooo good for you.

Unfortunately I don't know Orlando very well, but a while ago some friends recommended this one to me, it's more like a cafeteria but they told me that the food was really good, I'll give you the name and address and if you stop by let us know how it was.

It is expected that it will be quite hot these next few weeks, I recommend bringing hats and always carrying bottles of water.
 
I had a chicken salad sandwich and macaroni salad.
You should have added a garden salad and you would have had the salad trifecta!

I thought about it but none of the pre-made salads looked very good at the store.

Wow Luis, I just checked out their menu! Very cuban and everything looks delicious. Their Cuban sandwich kept staring at me.
 
Thinking about stopping by the fish store on my way home to see if they have any super pretty bettas that I could add to my tank in bringing to work. I like the little fish I have in it but I miss the betta personality.

Thank you Luis! I will ask the TSA and WWC crew as well and will absolutely let you know how it was. Photos will of course be provided

Are you leaving the 17th?

I bought an extra sunhat that folds in a suitcase and will make sure i have water. I will be indoors most of the time, except when I’m hanging by the hotel pool, under an umbrella. I love hot weather and am basically a fish - so I dip in every 30 minutes.

Thank you for the reminders

Isn’t it hard to choose? So many color variations
 
I fly to Orlando on the 13th and fly home on the 16th.
Ah, got it. The trip is so incredibly soon! I am so excited to see pictures and see what you get!!
