Bad weather driving in Orlando.

Visitors take care. Especially Brits.

During the current heavy rain (at at all other times) be careful when driving. Torrential downpours can be truly astounding.

Hard rain can be very tricky in a car you are not used to. Check you know how to switch your wipers on in your Orlando Rental Car. Usually the left stalk.

Take care and slow down enough to be safe...

Memorial Day 25th May 2009

May 25th 2009 is Memorial Day in the United States.
Memorial Day commemorates U.S. service men and women who died while in the military service throughout history.

If you witness a Flag Ceremony during Memorial Day (or at any time, such as daily Walt Disney World Flag Retreat Ceremony in Main Street USA, Magic Kingdom). You should stop, bring yourself to attention, gentleman remove hats and all place your hands by your side. Observe the ceremony in silence and appreciate the sacrifice that is and was given for our freedom.
