We went on our second extended visit to the Spectrum offices/shop to try to get our cable and Internet service here upgraded. Spectrum in the US are like Sky n the UK, except that here we have a cable connection. When we bought the house the service provider was a firm called Brighthouse but a few months ago they were taken over by Spectrum which is part of the Time Warner group.
After protracted negotiations with our local residents' association, it was agreed that we would get an enhanced package at a lower price but it did mean getting replacement boxes for cable TV and a new modem and router for the Internet.
Rather than go back to the Kissimmee office again we decided to go to the one they have in a place called Lakeland. Although a little further away (27 miles) they do have other shops there so it was a good excuse to do a bit of DIY and clothes shopping as well as getting some pictures etc for the Games Room here - in other words, the garage.
On our return home we spent some time trying to get the new Internet equipment to link to device already in the house!
Later on we went out for a late lunch and on to Disney' Hollywood Studios again, this time mainly to see the fireworks show at the end of the day.
Slinky Dog Ride - another multi-million dollar investment and one of Catherine's favourites. It's fast - see the blur in the picture below!
"H-o-o-o-o-ld on ....."
"Here we go!"
And to round off the evening there were some Disney pyrotechnics with projected scenes from "Star Wars"
