So I'm headed off to Florida tomorrow, will arrive arrive midnight tomorrow. Down side is my wife could not go. I am going to see some family members and hit sea world haven't been and have always wanted to go. I will be taking tons of photos, is there anyone that has a specific photos that they want me to take?
I can upload a couple videos and such of sea world if anyone wants.
I am really exited I haven't seen them in about 5 years.
I am not sure if I will be going to any other events, it will depend on how much money is left over.
I will definatley miss my audio stuff, but I will have a fun debate about Polk vs Bose with my grandfather, he lives and breathes Bose...everything he has that can replicate any sound is made by them....it will be interesting.
Anyway, yeah, anything in particular I should take photos of? I will try to hit a couple audio stores if I can get into the Orlando area, but its about an hour and a half drive...so I dunno.

    Actually 'any' pics you take would be welcome. I've been to many states in the U.S. and all over the world but I've NEVER been in Florida. My daughter is now 12 so time is ticking...perhaps next summer? So anything you find of interest would be appreciated...since this is on the agenda in the near future!

    Oh and don't forget to tell your Grandfather that BOSE was the speaker of the Chinese Olympic games....search my posts on this site and Olympics and you will find a couple of shots from the Olympic Venue in Beijing that I posted here. lol

    Have a good trip!

    The Kennedy Space Center is pretty cool too. Also, St. Augustine is a very quaint town with an interesting old fort.

    And, of course. Key West is sort of a different country but it doesn't sound like you will be in that part of the state.

    Brag a little about your gear, yes, but don't discount his if it's what he likes and gives him great joy. Just consider that you both share an appreciation for good audio... however misguided the poor old man must be! ;)

    My God man! 3 flights to get from Maine to Florida? You can fly direct to most places from Portland?

    Yeah but it would have costed more. This way it was about 500 both ways. Cheaper, maybe a couple more stops and an hour or two extra but hey that's more money I can spend here.
    Anyway arrived, I forgot how nice my uncles house is. He also showed me his Mustang Cobra....it is ridiculously loud. I will take a couple pics if I can....good god though its gorgeous.
    Anyway, it's definatly warmer than I am used to...
    I will have to adjust.

    SO my trip to florida is almost over, I will be leaving to go back home on wednesday. So far on the trip I fed a Manta ray, fed a sealion, watched the shamu show, ate at a bunch of nifty places, like the stone creamery or something like that. Went to a show called medieval times, that was pretty cool, went to ron jons and bought a new hat...went to the orlando mall and spent like 300 hah. It was hard to resist all those stores.
    My uncle did a few street races for me in his cobra, the thing knocks you back. He spins his tires through 3 gears before he takes off if he floors it. Its kind of dangerous, you get thrown around a lot. All in all it was pretty awesome. I definatley will be getting a mustang and having his mechanics trick it out like my uncles.
    Tomorrow I am suppose to hit the beach, and then my trip to florida will be done. I am kind of glad to go home to my wife, but at the same time, i kind of want to stay because it is really nice all the time.
    Ah well.
