Once Upon The First Universal Trip...

I got so excited planning what I thought would be the perfect first time experience ever and one to remember!

Our flight got delayed, we arrive at Orlando airport. then we couldn't find the bus so I was freaking out and my boyfriend, ben standing right beside me was just trying to keep me calm but not even him could keep me to try and stay calm. I had the paper map trying to find the bus stop but then we went wrong way. I told ben we went the wrong way but he didn't believe me so I followed him anyway because well I didn't want to get lost at the airport, it's a pretty big airport so easy to get lost there and not only that it is wicked loud.

We found the bus stop but the time they were supposed to be here they were running late and i made reservations at this Italian restaurant for five o'clock in the Friday evening. while the bus finally arrived i called the restaurant to tell them we might be a few minutes late and to let them know we didn't ditch. we get to Cabana Bay resort, checked-in everything went great and smoothly. we get to our room, drop everything and changed our clothes for dinner. we leave, and things were going better, we were ahead of the clock we kept fast walking and ben keeps shouting at me, "slow down, you told them already we gonna be a few minutes late. what is the rush?" I said to him being on time means your late but being early means your on time. I'd like to keep it to being early." We finally get to restaurant and I said our reservation name and they escorted us to our table. I ordered the chicken marsala and ben ordered his typical pasta with butter. we were eating and then a few moments later I felt a bit strange thought maybe it's just the lightening and I got full pretty quick. we get the check and head back to hotel. as we got inside our room I told ben, "We got a long day ahead of us tomorrow!" Ben said, "do we really need to get up that early? I mean we're on vacation I'd like to sleep in you know." I said to him with a smile, "sleeping in is something you do at home! we are on vacation, we have no time to waste!" with excitement. ben sighed heavily and we both went to bed.

around midnight on Saturday, I felt my stomach starting to hurt me and feel even more weird. off and on I was walking in and out of bed to the bathroom. the time it hits about 4 o'clock in the morning, ben wakes up. I told ben, "I don't feel so well and asked him to go find me some medicine and we may need to go to the park later in the day." he said, "alright that's fine I'll see what I can do" then i hear the door shut. I thought to myself maybe it was nothing, it'll go away in a few hours and maybe medicine would help me.

Ben comes back with medicine and says, "this is all I could find!" I said, "Great I hope this works. we'll head to the park in a few hours" I take the medicine and took a nap or well tried to take a nap. my stomach was getting worse. around 2 o'clock I was better enough to go to the first park we chose which was, Universal Studios and to see if I could go on any of the rides. we get to the park and, ben is all excited and I told him you can go on your rides first and I will wait here. he asked, "You sure?" I said, "Yep, I'll be okay for now." he smiled at me then said, "I'll be back soon." and I watched him walk towards the ride. I sit down somewhere waiting for him and then he walks towards me with excitement and said, "That ride was awesome! I wish you could have been on it but I know because of your seizures." I said, "I'm sorry but I'm glad you had fun." Ben said with concern look on his face, "are you feeling any better?" I sit down somewhere on the ground where there is shade and googling on my phone on what this could be. ben sits down next to me and said, "You know we could go back to the hotel if you really aren't feeling up to it." I told him, "I don't know, and are you sure?" He said, "Yeah, I'm sure I just feel bad that your feeling sick and I'm over here enjoying rides. it's not fair to you." I gave out a sigh, got up off of the ground, ben got up as well and I said, "alright, let's go back to hotel see if this will go away by tomorrow and I'm sorry." Ben said, "don't apologize, you're sick you can't help yourself and I'm surprised you made it here with the way you are feeling." I said, "what can I say? I'm determined for our trip to be the best."

Back to the hotel, I took a nap. A few hours go by, Ben said, "Oh shit, We got to meet my sister tonight at Toothsome Chocolate Emporium" I said back to him, "Oh right, I forgot about that! I was looking forward on meeting your sister and I just don't feel good at all." Ben said, "We can cancel, I can tell her your sick because well you are but if we are going, we got to leave like now." I said with a frown, "No! We can't do that. We're going still. let me just go get dressed first then we will leave. I will just try to manage and hope whatever this is goes away soon." Ben said with a grin, "I hope so too babe."

We got to the chocolate emporium and his sister met us outside. we went inside the restaurant together and escorted to our table. Order our drinks and food. I ordered the mushroom risotto and we talked for a bit. Dinner arrived, I started eating it but then my stomach was not liking it. I stopped eating it and then we got the check. We all got up and left walked around CityWalk. I told ben and his sister, I'll be right back I need to use the bathroom and walked right into the bathroom while holding my hand over my mouth. just as I entered the first stall, I turned my body to face the toilet I threw up in my hand then the side wall and missed the toilet. I tried to hurry up and cleaned it as much as I could but there was so much, I would have needed a mop to finish cleaning it up. I wash my hands, face real good then walked back outside. I told the guard if he knew where the person who cleans the stalls and he said they are on their lunch break. I said, "Could you tell them on the first stall there is a bit of throw up everywhere? I wasn't feeling good, I honestly tried to make it to bathroom, I made it but not as quickly as I wanted to and I made a mess. I tried to clean it up as much as I could." He thanked me and said yeah he'll let her know. I walk towards Ben and he said, "You alright?" I said, "No I'm not okay...you have no clue what just happened in that bathroom! I feel really bad." Then told Ben the story and he said, "Well they know you didn't do it on purpose so don't beat yourself up over it." I said, "yeah, you're right. Where is your sister?" Ben said, "Oh, she had to leave. She told me to tell you that she said bye." I said, "oh okay, well this trip is turning out to be one I never want to remember." We get back to hotel, got into our PJ's, then went to sleep.
