Travel Time, First Stop: Florida

Tuesday May 3rd
After cleaning our apartment and packing our bags, it was time for us to leave the Seneca Residence. We checked out at 11 am and headed to the airport. Luckily we could store our huge suitcases and extra luggage with a classmate who also lives in the residence so we didn't have to take everything to Florida.

We arrived at the airport at 12.30 and checked in immediately so we'd have enough time to relax after we got through all the security checks. The flight only took 3 hours and when we arrived we headed over to the car rental places to rent a car. When we drove away from the airport the navigation that we got with the car did not want to work with us. It did not recognize Jackie's (my cousin) address so we drove around a while until we finally got the navigation to work. It's search function is horrible.
When we finally arrived at Jackie's place we took our stuff inside and grabbed some dinner with her at a very good burger place named BurgerFri. We had some drinks when we got back and headed to bed at 11.

When we woke up we got ready to leave again because we were headed to Orlando. We grabbed some breakfast at a bakery and drove 3 hours to get to Kennedy Space Center. It was a very rainy and stormy day but most of the things were inside so we did stay dry most of the time. We saw the retired spaceshuttle Atlantis and went into a spaceshuttle launching simulator which was pretty cool to experience. When the Space Center closed we drove to our AirBnb place and relaxed in our room. The room is very close to the Universal Studios and is in a very nice place.
We also found a little friend when I opened the window of our room. There was a little lizard stuck between the window and the screens keeping out bugs. It jumped into our room and hopped around until Berwout caught him and set him free outside.
