After a drive to Orlando, Sock Monkey and Max took a stroll near the lake, since they had several hours before getting on the plane to start their cross-country flight. Eight hours on a plane with a crazed Soc Monkey and a 10 year old could get a little scarey, so it was decided that they were going to use every bit of spare energy before hand!

When escape proved to be imposible (thanks Trisha!), Sock Monkey and Max settled in to begin their long flight. Here's Max and the traveling monkey at the Orlando airport waiting for their flight to be called.
Sock Monkey aboard the plane.
As you can see, he has a seat all to himself. Maybe they need to seat-belt him in?
Max and Sock Monkey were invited into the cockpit with the pilots to look around. Talk about lucky!
Finally, out of the air and time to recuperate! Eight hours flying is enough to push a monkey (and a 10 year old) over the edge!
Once on board ship, Max and Sock Monkey went exploring. There was so much to see! Sock Monkey was soon spotted climbing all over the ship!
Sock Monkey, not being a shy monkey at all, soon started making new friends with members of the crew. Everyone loved Sock Monkey and were more than happy to have thir pictures taken!
There were a few tense moments when everyone relalized that Sock Monkey had no real understanding of the escalator, but all ended well when a nice man saved him at the other end. They took the elevators fro then on!
Max, being the excellent big brother that he is, even took Sock Monkey swimming! 
Sock Monkey and Max were invited to a dinner to celebrate a new friends birthday. This is when they discovered Sock Monkey's cousin! Imagine, a long lost cousin sharing the same ship! Sock Monkey was SO excited!!
Well, it's time to take Sock Monkey for his afternoon walk. I'll be back soon to finish posting the photos and I'll even include a few of the scenery.
