Our trip started with a business trip for me to Clearwater Beach, Florida.  We spent 2 nights in a wonderful Holiday Inn, and Kerry and the kids enjoyed the beach and the pool while I attended a meeting.  On the 12th, we headed over to the Kissimmee area where we spent the next 7 nights in a Holiday Inn Family Suites.  We visited both the Disney Parks and Universal Studios.  The last 2 nights of our vacation were spent at Dixie Landings (now Port Orleans Riverside).
