Our car for week 2. We get to choose from a number of vehicles but I loved the Dodge so much from week1 I was so happy to get another. The villa at Reunion Resort, Florida. As usual, absolutely superb. 2013-09-14 16.21.31 We've only just arrived - so let's welcome Vikki and Jonathon to our trip with a CHEERS! And thanks to Vikki for getting the villa sorted. The original address was on a building site! Notice the wee fridge monkey in the background filling up the beer. 2013-09-14 16.22.19 Games room.
