>Florida Queens arrived yesterday – Teen & Jr. Teen in
>the a.m. and had a very exciting time for the whole
>trip. At the airport in Orlando, they were swarmed by
>well-wishers who wanted photo opps, on the plane they
>were invited into the cockpit and had photos with the
>pilots; then the flight attendants announced them and
>had them do the “pageant walk” and “pageant wave” up
>and down the aisle (too cute!). They were again asked

>stretch limo awaited them with a Florida Queens sign …
>they said they really felt like true royalty.

>Last nite our Jr. Teen Queen went with her family to

>to participate in one of his illusions. She is still
>in the clouds (not illusionally, but emotionally!)
>Afterward he invited her and her family backstage for
>photos and autographs. This is truly an experience she
>will never forget!

>Miss Florida (Jessica Minch) and Ms. Florida (Rashidah
>Taylor) flew out of Jacksonville yesterday afternoon
>and were treated like royalty as well (although
>Jacksonville airport is certainly not as big or as
>exciting as the Orlando experience). Photos,
>autographs and their own driver waiting for them at
>the airport. Since they got in last evening, they
>didn’t have much time for other activities (with the
>jet lag and all).

>Ms. United States (formerly Ms. Florida) 2007, Lauren
>Wanger posted on my egroup board this afternoon. She
>writes: “Nothing to report so far. Last night I
>checked in... did see some other delegates around the
>hotel. No one recognized me!! LOL. I have orientation

>I would love to post some cute photos I have already

>but the four queens have one another AND their
