FLORIDA VISIT.....WITH THERESA
Wukky and Gloggy arrived in Florida today hoping to meet up with blog friend Theresa after visiting the great state of Georgia. Not seeing Theresa on their immediate arrival, the twosome set off on their own to find her. Contrary to numerous reports and rumors swirling around 360, the two were eventually found by Theresa, and she did NOT try to loose them in the Everglades on purpose....
Hoping to show Wukky and Gloggy all that the state of Florida has to offer, the Everglades and airboating were first on her list of sites and wonders...
It was while they were visiting the Everglades, Theresa took the opportunity to show the two visitors a real alligator farm. After some tense and nail-biting moments, Gloggy showed all his prowess of alligator wrestling, .... further impressing Theresa of his many hidden talents...
After the alligator farm, it was off to Busch Gardens for more site seeing and adventure. While there, the trio took advantage of the fabulous rollercoaster rides. It was hard to pry Gloggy's fingertips from the bar of the rollercoaster, ...he was having so much fun....
It was only with the promise to Gloggy and Wukky of a visit to Weeki Wachee Springs to see the one and only city of live mermaids that seemed to get Gloggy to budge from his rollercoaster seat. The trio enjoyed the live musical of "the Little Mermaid", with Gloggy on his feet several times clapping and cheering and humming along with the cast. Regretfully... Gloggy,Wukky, and Theresa were shown the door and banned from visiting ever again after Gloggy tried to smuggle a mermaid under his arm out the side door.....

Their long day almost over, the mention of Disney Resort in Orlando, perked the downunder travelers up, and gave them their much needed second wind. Gorged from all of the cotten candy, caramel popcorn, and sodas they could handle, it wasn't long before they found themselves braving even more rides.... that tested their fearless, nerves of steel....
Their evening capped off with 4th of July fireworks in the darkened sky....and being stalked by a rather large rodent....
It was with much hugs and tears (mainly of relief from Theresa) that Wukky and Gloggy bid Theresa and Florida good-bye. Pulling out their U.S. map, they plotted their next course.... a trek to South Carolina and to fellow friend and blogger Dixie....
