Dan & Co. due in an hour

It's shortly after 8 p.m. on Friday, August 6 and sitting aboard a flight from Dallas to Orlando is brother Dan Kohn, his girlfriend Lisa Howard, Dan's daughter Hannah Kohn and Amy's eldest daughter, Abby Jones.

Their flight is a bit late and due to land about 9:10 p.m.

We have a lot in store for them during the week they'll be here. Tonight will be a time to recover from the trip, tomorrow too. We'll show off parts of Orlando most tourists don't see, like downtown, Lake Eola and the like.

Sunday, the hard touristing begins. We've figured a schedule that can accommodate the days off of all my daughters, and I hope they travelers agree. It's funny, when the trip was planned, I had no idea I'd have to have surgery the same week, so while I'll be at all the venues with the gang, I'm sure I won't be able to enjoy everything. Such as coasters. I have a feeling I won't be riding any this week. Ah well.

Here's the tentative plan:

Sunday, we hit the beach. But not any beach; rather, we're going to travel to what Dr. Beach has called one of the world's top-10 beaches --  Fort DeSoto Park in St. Pete Beach.

Monday we'll tackle Spiderman, Harry Potter and Dr. Seuss, not to mention the Simpsons, Jaws and MIB. Yep, Universal. Fun.

Tuesday we'll have a break from the parks and enjoy the day at CoCo Key, a water resort where Karen works. The slides are fun, and with Karen at the bar I'll be the drinks would be too -- but not for me. Alcohol and my meds surely won't mix. Grrrr.

Wednesday and Thursday, with Aimee and Luis off, they, Catherine and I will visit the four Disney theme parks with the worldly travelers. Worldly of course, because I'm sure one of the trips will involve a walk around the World Showcase at Epcot Center.

Friday, well that's when Dan, Lisa, Hannah and Abby will be able to relax -- on the flights back to Southern California.

So that's the plan so far. There may just be some amendments along the way.
