Fun in Florida

One of the memorable trips was to Florida with Ghayu, Chandru, Sayee and Jayendra - most fun from Jayendra. Look at his mail he sent after the trip. Thanks Chandru for forwarding the mail.

Hai all, all these days I was under the impression that "cloud 9" referred
to the highest state of happiness, but the Ramesh-Manni-Chandru trio have,
in the last 5 wonderful days, openend my eyes to "cloud 10". I shall count
the last 5 days among the most pleasant and happiest moments in my life. It
was fun, fun and fun all the way. Chandru, with his meticulous and
painstaking planning (1 1/2 months in advance !!! ) ensured that we never
had to think about anything other than having fun anytime of the day, so
much so that many a times we forgot to wonder where the car that picked us
up came from....how we could enter "The universal studios" like VVIP's,
without having to wait in those never ending queues.....how there was sayee
to receive me at Tampa airport when I was coming from Starkville and he;
Sayee, from Dallas, both heading to Orlando !!!!
The prime mover behind all this, u know who it is, Ramesh and manni, with
such a beautiful mind and a great heart, made me feel at home 10000 miles
away from home. I felt like chandru, that's the best I can say.
Sayee, turned out to be the most unexpected entertainer of the lot,
shattering my preconception that he was one of a serious and focussed
nature, particularly in the last few hours of the trip !!!! Chandru, u know
what !!
Thanks to the digital camera we will be able to make a full length visual
documentary out of the trip. Disney was great, Universal was greater, Beach
was astounding and shocking, however I collected myself enough to capture
some cool moments. I never thought that the Roller coaster would turn out to
be such a pleasant experience...really, I mean it. Spiderman, awe inspiring.
Jurassic park was jaw dropping, serious !!
