Whats this? The "Guess which tropical paradise Im in, while youre freezing your ass of at home" game? 
My guess is the Easter islands. For a start, just tell if I guessed the right hemisphere.

I was offered a room at a hotel when getting my travel plans rearranged but declined. Didn't want to bother with going back and forth and I was going to get little sleep anyway. And yeah, jet lag is a weird thing. The first couple of days I was waking up at 4 am local time. Similar thing occurred when I got back. How did Flora behave throughout that whole ordeal?

Three days in the same clothes and sleeping in the airport. That sucks! I thought it was bad when Olympic ran to late for us to catch our connecting flight and we had to stand in line with our luggage and Flora at 7 months old for 6 hours. Finally got put up in a hotel for the night which we didn't reach until midnight, and had to be back at the airport by 5:00 am. One ruff day witht he jet lag setting in hard.

Tell me about it. I missed a connecting flight while traveling to Berlin (Vail at that time= noob when it came to traveling multiple flights). That really sucked. Had to stay the night at Newark International and arrive a day later than planned. Lost my luggage in the process too, and while it was found, I had to wear the same clothes for another two days. Best part is that I was the first to get to class in the morning...directly from the airport. 
As for your question, without googling...ummm...the Antilles?

As someone who went to Disneyland (Disney World's in Florida) a few times, here are a few tips:
1). Go on your birthday. Apparently admission is free on your birthday. Otherwise it's ridiculously expensive. Be prepared to pay alot for souvenirs, food, etc. as is the case with any amusement park.
2). The fireworks show at night is pretty impressive.
3). Space Mountain is the best ride, IMO. Next best would have to be Indiana Jones, followed by Matterhorn.
4). For kids, well...just about anything is rideable. Mickey Mouse pancakes for breakfast is a big plus.

Do you know that Barbers ages ago used to practice teeth extraction? and blood letting. The striped pole outside a barber shop has a somewhat macabe past.

Oh, and by the way, she's 5 years younger than me.
