And so this Holiday Edition of the Everyday Adventures Of The Purple Van comes to an end with a photo of the tree at Orlando International Airport(MCO)---for many visitors the first thing they see as they begin their trip to Orlando...and the last sight before heading back to the pressures of the real world.

Sharing the sights of the holidays has been fun and I want to thank you for the many kind words about this series...please acccept my heartfelt wish for the happiest of holidays and the healthiest and happiest new year...
