Eli Manning finally goes to Disneyland; Mike Ditka Florida resort deals; Angelenos turn to public transport

Good morning travelers! It’s Aloha Friday time. I’m blogging from Charleston, South Carolina, today. The temperature is 73F with 81% humidity. I expected it to be hotter, or feel hotter, but it’s not bad at all. It’s my third visit to Charleston and I’m looking forward to trying more low country food. I asked my husband how he’d describe low country food and he joked, seafood and butter.

Hotel Deals | Mike Ditka has a resort? It’s true, there are two Mike Ditka Resorts in Orlando, Florida. An AirTran newsletter crossed my desk today and they’ve got specials starting at $89 per night for a one bedroom luxury villa at Mike Ditka Resorts Runaway Beach Club. Or, if you stay two nights, you can get a free upgrade to a two-bedroom villa. Or, if you want to go to Walt Disney World Resort, Mike Ditka Resorts Lighthouse Key Resort and Spa is only 3 miles away. AirTran “Member’s Package” starts at $179 a night for a two-bedroom luxury villa.
