| Capone show finale |
The rain from the "Tropical Storm" was still falling at the start of day 6, so for the first time we switched on the television to look at the local news for the current weather situation and forecast. Up until this point we had switched straight to Netflix to watch films, including Forrest Gump, Brother Bear and the Big Short.
We landed on the local channel
Fox 35, well BBC breakfast it is not! In between the plethora of adverts which all seemed to be offering amazing finance packages for vehicles (the best up to 72 months interest free), the vehicle itself being a secondary consideration to the package, we got a few live short reports on the effects of Hermeen. The balance between adverts and content seemed to be about 50/50. The weather graphics and satellite overlay were impressive and it showed that the worst had passed Orlando and the outlook for the rest of the day was rain showers with varying amounts.
First off the girls had been hankering after an American McDonald's breakfast, so off we trotted. The menu is different, no breakfast wraps much to Simon's annoyance, but 2 x sausage egg & cheese McGriddle and a sausage and egg McMuffin were soon devoured.

The precedent had already been established that rain equals shopping, so a route was planned to visit a Victoria's secrets factory outlet and
The Mall at Millenia.

The girls were disappointed that the particular range of jumpers were not available at Victoria's secrets but this was more than made up by the purchases from Saphora, Mac and Pink in the Mall whilst the olds drooled over products in the Apple store.

Shopping over and the girls all spent up it was back to base to find something for the evenings entertainment.
Dear old Mr Google proved very helpful and a combined dinner and show was booked at
Capone's dinner and show show. An all you can eat buffet and drink event which was fantastic!!

As an added bonus Trudy quizzed a lady sat next to us about the American highway code. It turns out that you can go right on red unless it says not (left on red on a one way street). Also cross roads generally work on a first there basis kind of the same as a square roundabout, but inverted because of driving on the right......all clear now!!!
