Day Two

Yesterday, our first full day at Disney World, was the second day of our trip. We went to Animal Kingdom for most of the day and later went to Epcot for dinner. We ate at Space 220, 220 miles above the surface of the Earth. I didn’t take any pictures in the restaurant, but I did take this as we were leaving for the night. I felt it was appropriate.

We are heading to Magic Kingdom today. I hope to sneak back to Epcot at some point, but it’s not looking likely. We’re only two days in and I am wiped out. Fun! WOOHOO!

Epcot

Solidarity

A brief pause in the vacation posts to show solidarity to our brothers and sisters in Los Angeles who are standing up to tacos’ american gestapo.

Stay strong, friends.

Interesting View

The view from our hotel room is interesting.

Logan

Welcome to Boston: Logan Airport. We are at the terminal. Boarding doesn’t start for a long time. That’s fine. We are here.

3:52am

I am up and I am getting everything ready. We’re less than an hour away from the start of our journey.

Florida or bust, babie!

Travel Tomorrow

It is 9:30pm on Saturday night. The car that is taking us to the airport will be here at 4:45am. My alarm is set for 3:30. Here’s hoping I get at least a little sleep tonight.

We’re 95% packed. All that is left is last minute things like this laptop I’m typing this post on, and some chargers, and things like that. Harry is here and he’s doing some laundry, so he has to finish that tonight too.

One thing that isn’t here is the new/ancient film camera that I bought off of ebay last week. The USPS delivery date/time was today at 9:00pm. It was set for that for almost a whole week. At 9:00 tonight the estimate changed to Monday at 9:00pm. Fucking post office. I’m so pissed off. Now my new/old camera is going to sit on the steps for almost a whole week while I’m off visiting Mickey in Florida. Fucking post office.

I’m going to try and get some sleep soon. Here’s hoping for a smooth journey tomorrow, a successful week’s vacation with the family, and a safe and easy trip home next weekend. It’s going to be a great week… despite the fucking post office.

Packed

I just packed up two suitcases and a backpack.

Who’s ready to fly to Florida to see The Mouse?

We are, that’s who. All we need is for Harry to get here. Well… that and for it to be tomorrow when the flight is scheduled. That too.

Frugal Film Project

I wanted to do this back in January but it was cold out there and I forgot.

The Frugal Film Project is an internet challenge to buy a cheap camera and shoot a roll of cheap(ish) film through it every month for a year. The rule used to be that you had to grab the camera for under $50 but that was before prices ballooned during the pandemic so now it’s $75.

I bought my little Soviet TLR camera, a Lomo Lubitel 166 Universal, for about $40 so it qualifies. You’re supposed to use budget film but I don’t think such a thing actually exists anymore. Even cheap film is grossly expensive. I am going to play this game with the Lubitel and Kodak Gold 200 film. I started it on Memorial Day at Riverside Park in Methuen, a couple of weeks ago, so month number one is May 2025. I’ve already shot a roll in June too, in Harvard Square, but I won’t get that developed for a couple of weeks.

The camera only shoots 12 pics to a roll and (magically, for me) all 12 on the May roll came out okay. Here they are……..
