Let me tell you the story of how the Happiest Place on Earth became the Sexiest Place on Earth.
I received a phone call from Nick telling me to drop everything I had planned for the week and to pack a bag because he and Aaron were taking me on vacation.
"To where?" I asked curiously.
"You'll see" was Nick's mysterious and sheepish answer.
"I've booked you a flight to meet us here in Florida and made sure to have a few clues around as well." Was his final statement before hanging up.
I didn't care where I was going, I was just happy to be getting away for a while. I went into my room to begin packing and it wasn't long after that I heard my doorbell. When I opened my door, a FedEx guy handed me a small box. It was from Nick and it had been postmarked from the previous day. I opened it and pulled out the note inside. It read:
Take this and multiply its size by, oh, say a thousand times and what you'll have looks something like your first clue.
"Okay, what the HELL does a giant golf ball have to do with this?" I mused.
I went back into my room to finish packing and then called a cab to drive me to the airport. I checked in and made it to my gate without being pulled aside for one of those random security checks. I HATE those things! Have you ANY idea how embarrassing it is to have someone rifling through your bag when you know you've packed a box of condoms?! I silently thanked God that I wasn't one of the lucky ones pulled aside and fell into a chair. I had an hour to kill before my flight so I thought I'd take a short nap. But no sooner had I closed my eyes when someone was tapping me on the shoulder.
"Excuse me Miss, but someone just asked me to give this to you."
It was an envelope. I opened it and inside was another not and a picture. This note read:
This is clue #2, you'll receive your final clue once you get to Florida. See ya soon!
I pulled out the picture. It was a lion. I laughed out loud. A giant golf ball and a lion, talk about some fucked up clues.
My flight was finally called and as I settled in I realized that I may have forgotten to put some gum in my purse. Great! I thought. I always have to chew gum when I fly, if I don't my ears hurt so bad it feels like my whole head is about to explode. But then I thought that only happens when the pilot descends too quick so I crossed my fingers that if I didn't have any gum that the pilot would set us down nice and easy. I picked up my purse and rifled through it. YES!! one stick left! I popped it in my mouth and kicked back in my seat.
It wasn't long after the pilot announced that we were beginning our descent into Florida. THANK GOD!! I was getting a bit cramped. WE got settled by the terminal and I was anxious to see Nick and Aaron. I walked through the airport in search of the baggage claim, my jaw nearly locking from chewing my gum like a mad woman the entire flight. As I got closer I noticed Nick and Aaron waiting for me. I smiled and waved and when I did they both reached up and put Mickey Mouse ears on their heads. I doubled over in a fit of giggles. This must be clue number three. I gave them each a hug and kiss.
"Okay, THIS clue I get, but what the hell was up with the giant golf ball and the lion?"
"The lion is for the Animal Kingdom and the giant golf ball is for Epcot cause I swear that thing looks like one." Aaron laughed.
"You two are something else." I laughed.

We all stayed in one room at the Wilderness Lodge Villas, and the first thing I did was eye up the shower in the master bedroom. Not only was it big enough for two, but instead of having the usual frosted doors, the glass was crystal clear! I looked at Nick and Aaron and laughed wickedly.
