    I really couldn't live in America

    Been here 5 days so far and it's doing my head in. The food is shite - WHY make bread with so much sugar? So much processed rubbish that I'm a bloated whale. And FFS the H&S is ridiculous - people talk at you constantly about what not to do. Honestly, did Disney's Animal Kingdom today and really had had enough after 4 hours. Getting v intolerant at being treated like a 5 year old all the time.

    On the upside, the weather is marvellous & the kids are having a fantastic time. We have a few good parks left to do & if I can keep a lid on my intolerances I should make it without being rude to anyone.

    .........grumpy old woman......... enjoy your hols
    They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old.
    Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
    At the going down of the sun and in the morning
    We will remember them.

    Enjoy the wine!

    I always find the H&S more out of your face there than when we do theme parks in the UK. They seem more likely to let you actually get ont he rides and at least vaguely seem to know what they are doing.

    have you coped with the service in restaurants. I find it really odd the way they clear your plates away from in front of you the minute you finish eating, before the rest of the table have finished. And that they ask you if you want dessert when you are still half way through your main course.

    If you are buying bread ask for italian bread it's the nearest thing they have to our bread.
