Disney world, Orlando, Florida

We had gone to disney world, Orlando in Sept as a family to celebrate our daughter ivanas 1st bday. We started our trip on aug 30th, friday afternoon. We had already booked a hotel. The drive from Valdosta, GA to FL was pretty smooth. But towards the end, it started raining heavily. It was dark and we couldnt see the boards. We lost our way but ended up reaching our hotel safely. The hotel room was pretty good with fridge, microwave, TV, AC etc. We had taken dinner with us. So we ate and slept off.

The next morning we were scheduled to do to Magic Kingdom. By the time we woke up, had breakfast and got dressed up it was 11 am. We finally reached the place by noon. Since it was the first day, it was as if were in wonderland. We had no idea where to go and how. But as we started exploring the place, we were amazed. We all enjoyed the day. We had pizza for lunch which was damm expensive.

The next day's plan was Epcot. This time we had a better idea about how to proceed and made a good plan. We were able to cover the entire park by evening. Ofcourse we were not allowed for certain rides because our daughter was too young. We decided to stay back for the fireworks which was amazing. By the end of the day, thats at 10 pm we were dead tired. We were supposed to go back to the hotel for dinner. But since we were so tired we decided to have our dinner in a nearby american buffet. American buffet was very very different comapared to our indian food. We managed to satisfy our hunger with salad, bread, mashed potatoes, macroni and some chicken.

We were eagerly waiting for the next trip to Animal Kingdom. Inspite of being very tired, we woke up early in the morning and went there. But we were kind of disappointed. Animal kingdom did have many animals and birds, but it was everything that we had already seen so many times. The park was closed by 5 pm since the animals needed their private time. To overcome our disappointment we decided to go to the chinese buffet. We had a heavy dinner. On our way back we went to Walmart and did some shopping. The best show that my husband enjoyed was the 3D show in Animal Kingdom.

The last and final day was in MGM Studio. It was an amazing place. But since we had to start back that day, we couldnt spend much time. We missed many shows and rides. Before leaving we got ivana a big minnie mouse doll and a minnie mouse headband. She was very excited with that. We had a chance to attend the disney parade where all the disney characters just walked in the streets. We got frozen lemonade and enjoyed the parade.

Overall, the trip was a big success. We cherish every moment of it. We had taken a lot of pics. It was a memorable experience.

Faithful God

Ps 30 : 3 says " O Lord , you brought me up from the grave;
you spared me from going down into the pit."
This is my testimony in a verse. Though i was born and brought up in a strict christian family, i never knew my Lord Jesus personally. I was regular to church and an active member of my sunday class. At a very early age of 10, i even started playing the keyboard in my church.
That was my spiritual life till i was 11. It was then that i opened my ears to the Lord and let Him shape my life. He spoke to me through my mom and my pastor and made me realize the depth of sin that i was into. With His help i was able to come out of my sinful life. I started reading the Bible and meditating on it daily. I was very eager to testify about my Lord whereever I went.
But satan wouldn't keep quiet. He continued to tempt me in different ways. But each time, the Lord spared my life from going down into the pit before it was too long. Every time i mess up my life, the Lord was patient to pull me out of the grave, clense me, teach me and purify me.
Today I wouldn't claim to be a spiritual person. But i am definetely His humble servant willing to learn more of His word and please Him in all possible ways. Each day there is something new that the Lord wants to teach me. Inspite of all my shortcomings and unfaithfulness, He has been faithful enough not only to take me out of the grave but also place me on the throne. I mean what I say. He has indeed blessed me in all ways spiritually, materially and physically. Praise be my dear Lord Jesus Christ.

About Me

My name is Dahlia Twinkle.... Born in Nagercoil, a small town in Kanyakumari district, the southern tip of India.... Brought up in Mumbai... Did my college in Coimbatore... Now in Valdosta, Georgia, US....
Well, talking about my birth place, i hardly remember anything. The things that i remember are the beautiful sceanery with fresh breeze and greenery everywhere. Bombay is a busy place with a huge population. Coimbatore is one place which i really love. Its a place with a balance between modern life and a traditional touch. Life in US is ofcourse very different.
So i did learn many languages thru my life. My mother tongue is tamil. I learnt hindi and marathi during my schooling. I also had Sanskrit as my second language during my high school. The secret is i just learnt marathi and sanskrit in my academics and managed to get through. I can hardly use those two languages. Kanyakumari being very close to kerala, i did pick up some malayalam too.
