Thursday morning we boarded the plane in Buffalo, bound for Orlando and Walt Disney World. Laura, Cathy and Stuart joined almost 20 others form Western New York to complete the Walt Disney 1/2 or Full Marathon. The team members all raised money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society as a part of their commitment to the trip. Cathy is participating in memory of her Dad, Laura in honor of her friend Gary.
When we got off the plane in Orlando, it was warmer and more humid than it was when we left Buffalo. A shuttle picked up and ferried us to our hotel -- the Coronado Springs Resort. It is a sprawling property with a Spanish/Mexican motif. There is a lagoon in the middle with three and four story buildings all around. The inner ring is .75 miles around. The property has about 1200 rooms, I think. There are several pools (outdoor, of course), a big whirlpool/spa, an exercise room, all kinds of services like massages, hair styling, manicures and pedicures and several choices for eating.
Jon asked if the resort had changed much sonce the last time I was here. Of course it has, because I was last here in 1986! It promises to be a fun weekend. Keep checking back for pictures and more stories form the resort.

Cathy, you and Laura were GREAT to complete this challenge! Your team raised a huge fund and I'm sure will assist those with disease to be more comfortable or find a cure. Thanks for participating on my behalf.
